Tie-Dye 101 - Suzanne McNeill
Tie-dye is an exciting craft that is completely versatile. You can get all kinds of effects depending on how you manipulate the fabric and the range of colors that you use. Every creation is unique and it is always exciting to unwrap your project, rinse it out and see what you find. Tie-dye is an adventure every time.
Soda Ash Fixative Formula:
• 1 cup Soda Ash
• 1 gallon warm water
Thoroughly dissolved
Dye Formula:
• 8 oz (1 cup) tepid water (~105°)
• 2 - 8 tsp dye* - *see Dye label
Colors with no *=2 tsp
Colors with *=4 tsp
Colors with **=8 tsp)
• 1 Tbsp Urea (dissolve in a little hot water first)
Optional:
• 1/4 tsp water softener if needed
• Sodium Alginate thickener (a little to slow spreading and control color, if desired)
For blacks, use up to 4 times as much dye (1 tsp/oz water) and a Tbsp of SALT and don’t forget the Urea!
Use a dust mask when mixing all powders.
Multiply this recipe like a cookie recipe to make as much dye as you need. It takes about 4 oz of liquid dye to dye one wet adult T-shirt. 3 - 2 oz jars of dye with no * on the color is enough to dye about 40–50 adult T-shirts.
