TLDR Review: Rit Tie-Dye Accessory Kit

The Rit Tie-Dye Accessory Kit is a solid starting point for your tie-dye projects, but keep in mind it doesn't come with any dyes. According to the manufacturer's description, the kit includes 3 squeeze bottles, 20 rubber bands, 2 pairs of gloves, and a microwaveable tray to speed up the dyeing process.

You'll need to buy the dyes separately, which actually lets you choose the colors you want to use. The manufacturer suggests using Rit All-Purpose Dye for the best results, though other fabric dyes should work too.

There's also the Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative included to help set the colors and prevent bleeding and fading, but you might want to double-check that on the product listing just to be sure.

From what we've found, a lot of people have mentioned that the kit has useful accessories but no dyes. One cool feature mentioned is the microwaveable tray, which can make the dyeing process faster and more convenient.

So, overall, this kit gives you the tools you need, but remember to grab some dyes to get started on your colorful projects!

The Rit Tie-Dye Accessory Kit is pretty beginner-friendly, but there's a bit of a catch: it doesn't come with any dyes. According to the manufacturer, it includes 3 squeeze bottles, 20 rubber bands, two pairs of gloves, a microwaveable tray for quick dyeing, and an instruction booklet.

So, it's got all the tools you'll need, just no dye itself, which you'll have to buy separately. This can actually be a good thing if you want to pick out specific colors for your project. But yeah, it’s a bit inconvenient if you were hoping for an all-in-one kit right off the bat.

Our research also pointed out this missing dye issue. A lot of folks mentioned they had to go buy the dyes separately. One person even said, 'I think the product marketing should very clearly tell you that in addition to this kit you need to buy several dyes,' highlighting that the marketing isn't super clear on this.

So, if you're cool with picking out your own dye colors, this kit can work great for you. Just keep in mind you'll need to make an extra purchase for the dyes. If you prefer something that's ready-to-go, a kit like the Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit comes with pre-filled dye bottles and might be more convenient.

In short, the Rit Tie-Dye Accessory Kit gives you good control over your color choices and includes all the necessary tools. Just be prepared for that extra step of buying the dyes separately, and you should be good to go!

The Rit Tie-Dye Accessory Kit comes with everything you need for your tie-dye projects, except the dye. As described by the manufacturer, you'll get 3 squeeze bottles, 20 rubber bands, two pairs of gloves, a microwaveable tray, and an instruction booklet. This means you can choose your own dye colors, which is great if you have specific shades in mind for your creations.

It's a nice bit of flexibility if you're aiming for a particular look or experimenting with different hues.

So, about that microwaveable tray: It's actually pretty handy. After you've added the dye to your fabric, you can use the tray to heat it in the microwave. This helps set the dye much faster than just letting it air dry. Basically, the heat helps the dye bond with the fabric, speeding up the whole process so you can see your final result quicker.

However, a few folks have mentioned some downsides. From our research, it seems some users were hoping the kit would come with the dye included, and maybe a few extra accessories. One person said, 'I think the product marketing should very clearly tell you that in addition to this kit you need to buy several dyes, another product to set the dye, not to mention the object you are dyeing. I have gloves and rubber bands at home. At least this kit should have some dye in it.'

Another commented, 'This kit worked really well. Everything you need aside from the dye. I wish that there were both more gloves and more bottles though.'

To make sure your tie-dye lasts, you might also want to grab some Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative. It helps keep the colors from bleeding and fading, which could be a game-changer for the durability of your designs. And of course, you'll need some dye.

The Rit All-Purpose Dyes come in loads of vibrant shades and should work perfectly with this kit. Happy dyeing!
