I was so happy with the vibrancy of these colors. They hold fast as well. I've tried several different dyes and I really love this one. I even was able to do some yarn "painting" by putting the mixed dye in squeeze bottles and steaming the dyed yarn to set it. :)

I love Greener Shades Dyes. I do more Earth tones but I have a friend who says the brighter the better and we spent the day dying and Man did we rock the color wheel. Everything was beautiful. Her's were bright and Mine were Earthy ... And I love the fact that with the book you only need a place to store 9 colors Not a cabinet to store a ton of different ones. These Dyes make dying simple, fun and more importantly EASY to get the look, color and affects you want in your yarn.

I've used these a TON now and saturation was NO problem. For the aqua and the black, make sure you check the pH and temperature, and you should have smooth sailing! I LOVE this product.

I bought this set as a newbie dyer, and I've used most of it and expanded my collection by now. Some colors work better than other in this set. Particularly the Midnight Black and Coral Reef Aqua, I was not able to get the saturation that I wanted. The Midnight Black almost without exception washes out brown no matter what I tried. The coral reef aqua bleeds like crazy when washing afterwards no matter how little or how much saturation you try for, and even if the dye bath runs clear. I was able to get more ideal results from the other colors, but still not the amount of saturation I had hoped for. If you're interested in dyeing lighter tones I'd go with this set. If deep saturated color is what you're after I'd go with the Jacquard dyes instead.
