Jacquard Acid Dye 1lb Tub Violet - Professional Fabric Dye For Wool, Silk & Nylon

About This Product

Serious crafters and fiber artists, this Jacquard acid dye is professional-grade stuff that delivers amazing results! The 1-pound tub of violet gives you plenty of dye for multiple projects, whether you're working with wool yarn, silk fabric, alpaca, feathers, or even nylon materials. What makes acid dyes special is how they chemically bond with protein fibers - when you add acid (vinegar or citric acid) to the dye bath, the color literally magnetizes to the fibers, leaving clear water behind. The color payoff is incredibly vibrant and the self-leveling properties mean no streaking or blotchiness. You get beautifully even, professional-looking results every time. The process is straightforward: heat water to 180°F, add your dye, then your pre-soaked material, followed by your acid source. The dye becomes permanent once bonded, so your creations will stay colorful through washing and wear. Beyond basic dyeing, you can use this for silk painting, screen printing (with thickener), or various resist techniques. Jacquard has been the go-to brand for fiber artists for over 35 years, and the quality consistently delivers. Whether you're dyeing yarn for knitting, fabric for sewing, or customizing cosplay wigs, this acid dye gives you studio-quality results at home. The violet shade is rich and beautiful, and having a full pound means you can experiment freely without worrying about running out.
