Dylon Dye

For the last eight years, we've been carefully and lovingly renovating a 17th c cottage. It's a true labour of love - the kind that never actually gets finished - but, at long last, we're finally getting to the exciting decorating and choosing carpets and curtains stage. So the dining room (which used to be the bathroom and toilet, but that's another opinion!) has finally been decorated in a mixture of burgundy,grey and gold. (I know, it sounds horrid, but, trust me, it looks great.) As a final finishing touch, I wanted some of those long,floaty, sheer curtains. I must have been having a bad taste day when I bought them. For some ...  Read the complete review

As its Halloween tomorrow, its the time of year when everybody is running about the shops trying to find a brilliant outfit or costume to wear for Halloween night. My brother was looking for a costume and couldnt find any that he liked so i told him he should make a costume himself. I actually think a lot of homemade costumes look a lot better than the shop bought costumes do. He decided to go as a green army man (like those little plastic army men that you buy when you are a kid that have circles on the bottom of their shoes!) We searched the internet and saw a picture of someone who had decided to dress up the same as this. The ...  Read the complete review

A few years ago I bought a lovely pair of black trousers. They were comfortable, and they were smart enough for work. I loved them, and so I proceeded to wear them often. So, two years later, they've probably been washed more than 100 times, and they were looking decidedly gray and not nearly so smart as they once were. I didn't want to throw them away, so I decided to dye them. I bought Dylon Machine Dye in my local hardware shop. It cost £6.99 which is very expensive. I've seen it on the internet for less than half what I paid. However, as I'd never get round to actually buying the dye this way, I decided to buy it on the spot. I chose the Velvet ...  Read the complete review

It is not often that I’m impressed enough with a household domestic product for me to be filled with the need to put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard, to sing it’s praises but having seen the impact this product has had on a faded pair of work trousers I felt duty bound to do a review. Dylon all-in-one colourfast fabric dye comes in a 400g pouch and is ready to use straight from the packet. The packaging has the product name on the front with a picture of a washing machine beneath it and the colour of the dye labelled on the front. On the reverse are some very comprehensive instructions on its usage as well as guidance on the expected results and some ...  Read the complete review

Once again there is no absolutely accurate category so this is going here. This sia review of Dylon in general and their COLD WATER dyes. Sorry. I bought a large cotton hooded top a few years ago. You know the type of garment that says: 'Wash by hand separately in water that is as cold as ice, don't iron or even warm it up and if anything ever bad happens to it then it's your fault not ours.' It was a kind of organic red if you know what I mean, the type of colour that says- this top was made in a cool hippy way and not the typical industrial exploitation of Indian workers type way that you had in mind. I bought the top in Glastonbury- I'm ...  Read the complete review
