Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just dyed a batch of white cotton socks. You might notice that the product title says "forest green" but the picture shows a product labeled "tourquoise". When I first added the dye to the salt-water, it did look dark green. But somehow it, and my socks, shortly turned blue, and by the end of the process, the water itself was clearly blue much more than green. I would rate the color of my socks as being much closer to a weak-moderate tourquoise/teal than any kind of dark green (which is what I expected forest green to be). I admit that I am pretty new to dyeing fabrics, and may have messed up the sequence of steps (my soda ash package described a totally different sequence from the dye itself), but I would expect that such mistakes would result in weaker color, not shifted color. I did include a few pairs of yellow socks (white socks I had dyed yellow with RIT powder in a hot-stove sequence weeks ago but not yet worn) once I realized my new white ones were going blue instead of green, and those have indeed gone a nice rich green color.
