Thank you! I didn't have great expectations going in either, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[@Laprinsessadiana]

Easy peasy! I can do that one, now I just need WATER!!! Love the colors with the blue and green color splits. It came out so cool. Thanks!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks so much 😊

[@amandagermany5933]

Love it! Amazing how you can get so much out of a simple twist.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 😊

[@jonathancapps1103]

I had a shirt that I'd dyed red and blue that I had rinsed, and ran through the washing machine with Kieralon. I wanted to do a second black dye over it, so I soaked it in a soda ash solution in a 5-gallon bucket with some blanks. And it bled into all the blanks! I had to bleach the blanks and resoak them in soda ash. No harm done. But now after rinsing I soak every shirt, changing out the water until it's pretty much clear. *Then* I wash it with Kieralon.

[@FunEndeavors]

Yes, that happens. Even if you've rinsed the shirt properly it isn't uncommon for a shirt that is colored or has been previously dyed to leave a little color behind in the soda ash solution. I keep a soda ash bucket specifically for those shirts. That way I don't contaminate my main soda ash solution.

[@christyfirestone3603]

I like the colors. It almost looks like an accordion folded shirt.

[@FunEndeavors]

It kind of does. I also think it almost looks like a single geode without the definition lines.

[@marybethprinkey2635]

Beautiful

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you - I'm glad you like it!

[@jimijamtiedyeshop161]

Super cool. So easy , I'm going to do some halloween shirts. Thanks Angie

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! Have fun with it - I think this would look cool done as Halloween shirts.

[@carolenoel3828]

I love the mix of colours and such a simple tie. I also love the shots of the t shirt on a mannequin. It's good to see the design as you would if you were wearing it.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 😊

[@rk100364]

This looks very cool... I say keep twisting tho... You were reminding me of when the washer doesnt spin correctly and you have to wring out your sheets. lol Speaking of, maybe try a tapestry with this twisting method? If you twisted it real hard, there would be all sorts of cracks and crevices from where it was twisted in on itself. Hmmm....

[@FunEndeavors]

That's a good idea! I was thinking more of when my washer spins too well and the sheets come out of the washing machine looking this way.

[@Jaxom35x]

Now that is lovely chaos. Great color choices along with awesome splits from them. Keeping things simple is a great way to come out with wonderful creations.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Uniquelyyours1]

A real beauty, Angie, that was really fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much!

[@shellygoodwin7221]

Looks like fun for the grandkids! It turned out pretty!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! This one would be a design for your grandkids. If you used blues and a few sand colors I think it would look like a beach.

[@dianaroos8557]

Always love the purple colors!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thanks - me too!

[@robinlosch8933]

What a beautiful shirt! This is on my list to try.

[@FunEndeavors]

Awesome - I'm glad you like it!

[@jenniferdillow3934]

I really like that shirt. Beautiful!

[@destinimurphy398]

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you, Marc! 😊

[@stascyiaiselin7720]

This is nice love the colors n patterns. 😍

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! 😊

[@denisef1684]

Love the colors amd the tie! I've done a few of these, mainly because I was hurrying to finish up a few shirts after a full day of tying and I was exhausted! They do turn out pretty cool!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! That was kind of what happened to me too. I liked the way it turned out though, and so I tried another one yesterday.

[@nanasloves]

Nice! I want these colors on a shirt!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! I think the colors go really well and look beautiful together.

[@Zothiqueness]

I just had an idea. What if you saved the "muck" and freeze it in a big block or several little blocks, then use that to gravity dye something? I'm always thinking so much dye is being used and all of that is being tossed out, I bet it would make for some very interesting splits!

[@FunEndeavors]

I love the color some of the muck turns, but I don't think that would work very well. Once the dye meets the soda ash it begins to react and won't be good for very long. If you took it and made ice cubes immediately it would work, but by the time it is time to rinse the shirt out, the muck isn't active anymore. I've just finished uploading a video for tomorrow of a muck geode and gravity dye that I did on a hoodie. On that one the hoodie wicked the muck down into the gravity dye area. It turned out really cool. I'm already planning on trying this technique some more on shirts. That technique utilized the muck while it was still active.

[@Chertsy11]

I save my muck because you end up with colors you can't buy or won't need to buy.

[@iknowheis]

This is a pretty shirt. The colors are great and the pattern is nice. It looks almost like a geode. I wonder how it would look if you did the twist and did not put the dye on in stripes.

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you! I actually tried that too. I think I'll have that video posted some time this week. I applied the dye in pie shapes on that shirt. It didn't make a huge difference though.

[@bethlambert6061]

I wonder how it would do as a muck dye???

[@FunEndeavors]

@@bethlambert6061 I'm not sure. I'm curious now, so I'll have to add that one to my to do list.

[@iknowheis]

@@FunEndeavors I saw the second one. Isn’t it interesting! The dye makes its own path in that twist!

[@FunEndeavors]

@@iknowheis it is interesting how the dye moves on this design.

[@jayythesithlord]

Can you do this with a shirt that is already a solid color to add + color

[@FunEndeavors]

You can as long as the shirt isn't too dark to begin with.

[@ctonramk]

Super cute! I am a complete newbie. I purchased some tulip powders to give ice dying a try. It was so fun and I have to say came out pretty neat! I'd like to make more. I notice you mention several brands of dye powders. What is a good place to start brand wise? Are reactive dye, cold water dye the same? Is procrion a dye type or a brand name- like Jaquard or Dharma -? It's a little confusing but I'd like a better quality then Tulip. 😊thanks!

[@FunEndeavors]

Hi! I'm so glad that you are enjoying tie dye. The type of dye that I use is Procion Fiber Reactive Dye. I purchase them from several different suppliers. The main ones that I buy from are: Dharma Trading Company (in California), Dyespin (in Missouri), Pro Chemical and Dye (in Massachusetts), Grateful Dyes (in Colorado), and Custom Colours (in North Carolina - but he is currently not selling dye). They all sell the same kind of dye, but the way they mix the dye into various colors differs. I love and would suggest any one of these suppliers as a place to start. Depending on where you live, the shipping might be a determining factor for you. I have a tie dye blog that has quite a bit more information about the kind of dye that I use for tie dyeing. I also have links for all of the suppliers mentioned above. Here is a link to the blog post if you'd like to check it out. www.funendeavors.com/tie-dye-blog/qbxo5vtt9anokq71sryfybl2gtp1vu

[@ctonramk]

@@FunEndeavors thank you for all the information - so appreciated! Your videos are so great! Thanks again!

[@FunEndeavors]

Thank you so much!

[@TravelDanes]

Are you saying Dharmas professional textile detergent?

[@FunEndeavors]

Yes, it's a textile detergent that Dharma has formulated to be like Synthrapol. 🙂

[@crazyrvlady6091]

How do you decide on what pattern to put dye in.

[@FunEndeavors]

I haven't ever tried this design before, so I randomly chose to apply the dye in stripes.

[@kingster911]

Is that standard to leave it to soak in the dye for a full day? I’ve been trying out tie dyeing and want to get something vibrant like this!

[@FunEndeavors]

I usually leave my ice dyed items for at least 24 hours. The dye needs a temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit to bond properly with the fabric. Leaving it for 24 hours allows time for the dye and shirt to warm up after the ice melts and bond the dye. If the dye in the shirt doesn't get warm enough, it won't be as vibrant. It won't hurt to leave it longer, especially if you are in a cooler climate. If I am liquid dyeing, I normally leave my items at least 12 hours, but preferably 24 hours if it is really warm (over 70 degrees) where I am dyeing them.

[@kingster911]

@@FunEndeavors ok good to know. My little experiments have been rushed 😅. I’ll get the proper stuff and prep everything properly when it gets warmer out!

[@ethanchau1367]

why is the dye powder?

[@FunEndeavors]

That is the way it comes. You can mix the fiber reactive dye powder with water to make it a liquid.
