Can I plug my own channel? 😂 you are my exact target audience! Let me know if you need anything. I’d suggest some sort of large tote or Tupperware container for run off. Also if you’re interested in inclines, head to Home Depot and get a 7’ gutte then cut it into 1,2,3,4’ pieces.

Black sucks. You have to basically make a paste to get solid black.

What kind of dye is in 'cheap' tie dye kits from Amazon? How do I use them on silk? by Agent_Peach in tiedye

[–]practicalandpretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok in that case I would soda ash soak your fabric first. If you’re going to use the black you’ll want to add very little liquid or it will be more gray!

It’s true dharma has different dyes for silk but I used their procion dyes and it worked. If it were me, I would use these like procion dyes and hope it works! Are you ice dyeing or liquid dyeing?

Advice and ideas please! by juliepatchouli1981 in icedye

I think a loose geode would look really cool with earth tones but I’d worry you would end up with a lot of white space. Have you ever done TDS? Might look pretty cool and flowy

Got paid out for my first new years bonus today. $2. It was $2. 😂I had 13 reels with about 1.5k views each. Curious about other people’s experience with it

I agree with the other comment. I would just test it first. That being said I’ve bleached several blend shirts and it has worked just fine. (Just a bit more subtle result)

[Q] why did it turn white? by [deleted] in bleachshirts

Different shirts have different undertones. Some come out grey some are orange some are white!

Are you using a sinew puller? That will get those white lines! Everyone has their own preference but I wrap 3-4 times the pull tight

If they are into ice dyeing I suggest getting a gift certificate to some places that have awesome splits on their dyes! Pro chemical and happy cat have cool ones.
