Jacquard Acid Dyes .5oz, Olive (102855)

This dye is a beautiful olive brown. Add a dash of teal if you are wanting an olive green. Used this dye to re-color wool faux locs I wear at the desert dirt rave aka Burning Man. First time using acid dye, it was a fairly simple process. Made a range of colors and tones using just olive and teal. Check Jacquard’s website for more info about mixing the different pigments, some colors become spotty and separate if the water is too hot. A cooking thermometer is super helpful for keeping the dye bath at a consistent temperature. Easy cleanup was a bonus.

Great color outcome on raw wool

Perfect

This dye is more black than it is olive. It also has too much blue in it to even be called olive. Has to use dye remover to remove this color from my shirt as it was too dark.

First of all it's not olive green. And second of all although I could have lived with the rust color it came out splotchy even though I was extremely careful in every step of the way and even mix the dye up and let it sit for a half an hour so all the colors would be dissolved.

Great. Thank you.

I thought this was olive green - it colors a dark chocolate brown on wool. I was going by the color of the label on the product as a guide. I should have read the reviews first. Other than that it worked great and a need a brown in my colorway.

This color was in no way olive. No matter how little I used the color came out brown. See photo below, the yarn to the right is the “olive” dye. Most jacquard dyes I have bought have been very true to color. I’m not sure if this seller replaced the dye within the container or if possibly the dye expires? Frustrating to say the least
