Rit DyeMore Liquid Dye, Midnight Navy

Works

Love this. Use it to dye my outter cover law enforcement vest. Works so well. I get an extra 2 or so years out of the vest cover

It turned out good. One bottle did a vintage wedding dress that weighed 2 lbs. However, notice that the 3 different fabrics in the dress all came out differently! The underskirt came out dark purple, the polyester part turned light blue and the lace was the only part that actually turned navy blue. I let the dress soak for 60 min. I did use the stove top method in an I gal stock pot.

Used with Rit Colorstay on a 56% cotton 44% polyester fleece heathered grey sweatshirt for a Warden costume. You can see the base color which I left clear on the upper arms. It took really well! Especially considering I did it in a last-minute panic and hadn't realized it would need boiling in a pot that isn't going to be used for food afterward. I put it in a glass pickle jar nestled in my spaghetti pot with a bunch of rags to cushion it and simmered for about half the time it wanted before the jar cracked, very luckily not catastrophically. So the rest of the dye time it hung out in a compromised glass jar below temp and I would absolutely suggest to NOT do that and go to the thrift store for a sacrificial pot instead. :) Regardless of my deviation from the rules, it left a nice muted deep blue-grey. No transfer to other laundry and the color has only mellowed slightly after many washes since.

I've had to dye a few synthetic fabrics and this does the trick-- keep in mind that this is stovetop dying and you have to be careful to follow the instructions to the letter. I set up a large stock pot (I bought it ONLY for dying fabric) and I use a veggie steamer basket I bought for dying to help prevent the fabric from touching the bottom where the stove heats the pot. I usually double dye quantity and it works like a charm. Easy to use, good value, and the colors are great-- this helps me color correct 'navy blue' items that are a bit on the green/aqua side and get them closer to a true navy blue. Love it! Get HEAVY DUTY DISH GLOVES! You won't regret it for stain prevention and heat resistance.

What is the most likely reason to want to re-die fabric? Because you got some bleach on it. It doesn't work on bleach spots.

I’ve purchased this dye multiple times. It’s great if you are dying new fabric. I used this for a polyester blend tapestry that I didn’t like the color of. Came out really nice. I haven’t had any issues with the color fading. It’s a solid brand and a solid

I used this to dye a tan button up shirt that had been stained blue by another shirt in the wash. It worked perfectly, and looks better than what they had in navy blue at the store in the same shirt.

Doesn't work on bleached stains. But to be fair, they did say it may or may not work. So, if you are buying it for the same reason as I am, don't risk it.

Turned out green despite following the instructions to the letter

Worked very well, but midnight navy isn't any shade of blue - it's just plain purple. Still worked well for what was intended, since I also like purple, but if you don't, be aware of this!

The instructions on the bottle were tiny, but I watched a few videos before I started. Be prepared! I dyed my white satin/ polyester wedding dress to the midnight blue colour. I had the dress shortened so I used the off cut as a test piece first. Happy with the process I did the dress next and it turned out well. I used 1.5 bottles for the dress and 0.5 on the test piece. I used galvanised stainless steel bucket over a gas stove, and a bamboo stick to stir. Have old towels on hand for around the sink. Even colour coverage. Ended up a bit creased after the heat and spin in the washing machine but nothing a bit of steam won’t fix. I would use dye again now I’ve given it a go, I feel confident doing more.

Fa il suo lavoro ma non è stata facilissima da usare; inoltre quando asciuga diventa molto più chiara e questo confonde molto. Se volete tingere un tessuto senza nessun lavoro strano è ottima, io dovevo fare un gradiente e non ha funzionato benissimo, è a malapena visibile
