Jacquard iDye For Wool?

[NeonAddiction]

So I was at JoAnns today, and saw that they carry the Jacquard iDye.



It comes in SUPER bright colors, including UV Fluroescent yellow, (which i HAD to get ) and is super cheap. I read the instructions, and its made for natural fabrics including wool, but apparently its made for washingmachine? I don't know why it wouldn't work with regular boiling water though. Each packet is for 2-4 pounds of fabric, so thats perfect size for a big bundle of wool.

I need to get some white wool to see if it works, but has anyone tried this dye?

I know acid dyes work better with wool, but its harder to find BRIGHT acid dyes.

Indeed it is very hard to find UV and neon dye for woll.. could you post your findings on here, along with any pics.. I am very interested to see how these come out!!

I'm very excited!

I'm not sure how UV or fluoro the dye is.

But I just won a pound of Merino wool, so I'm gonna test the UV idye.

I will definitely post pictures!

They even make a color remover, and a sun blocker, which apparently adds a UV protect to fabric/fibers. So I guess you could make your hair UV protective and prevent UV rays from getting on your head!

Squuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeee... they sell these on amazon...

I am very excited to find out if they work as the current acid dye I am using is 50p more expensive for 10g's less... and obviously the fact that they do neon yellow is such a bonus.

Any luck yet?

Woot!

I just got the pound of wool today!

I didn't realize it, but a pound is ALOT of wool!

And yes, the iDye is VERY cheap! I got the packets for about 3 dollars each, and each package is MORE than enough to dye a pound of wool!

I'm kinda scared to dye the wool, but I'm gonna try little bits and see how it turns out!

I will take process pictures for you Squidgy! I hope it turns out well! Otherwise, I'm gonna ruin a bunch of really nice merino wool! I'm gonna follow the dying guides on here though.

Okay!

I used the iDye, and had a great outcome!
