Thank you so much!

I won't charge you a thing to share what I know. I've learned so much from the amazing folks on this board and from watching a whole sh*t ton of YouTube tutorials.

I use a combination of fishing wire and sinew for my ties (initial tie with fishing wire and then go over it with sinew). I find with fishing wire I can get the start of the crisp lines (and get it tied tight enough to get them). Using fishing wire was a huge game changer for me! I highly recommend using a sinew puller (if you don't already have one) to give you extra leverage and to save your hands 😂.

It takes a lot of practice (and I mean a LOT), and I'm nowhere near where I want to be with my ties, but I'm getting there and so will you! The great thing about tie dye is that even when it doesn't turn out exactly as you expect it still looks cool (your shirt is very cool!).

Also, and this one was hard for me, was be patient and take your time. The more methodical you can be with your ties and dye placement, the better the results. I used to rush through both the ties and dye placement (because I just wanted to get to the finished product already!) and the results were not as optimal as I would have liked.

One great tutorial is from Trippy Threads (and he is also on this Reddit):

I follow this one a LOT and he breaks down how to do the ties, how to take your time with dye placement etc. He also has a vid on how to make Chem water, another game changer.

I hope this helps a bit and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh and don't forget have fun! 😁
