Tie Dye: Repeating Peacock [Ice Dye]

This is an experiment to see how a "saw tooth" dye pattern will work with a peacock style fold. I think this is the method I'll use from now on for Peacock Folds.

It reminds me of the rose window at the Washington National Cathedral! This is beautiful! My ice maker is broken or I would try this technique but I'm going to try something similar with wet dyes and tying the shirt the same way. I'm brand new to this craft so I'm gathering as much knowledge as I can before I start.

[@jolynarterbury1980]

I gathered about 3 months worth of info before I started! Haha. I'm still a newbie but, I have definitely been studying fold and dye pattern combinations, lately. Trying to SOMEWHAT control the results. Happy dying, when you do decide to start! Tip: take your time in the folding/tying process, it yields much better results--this coming from someone who has NO patience!

[@DH-pz7bc]

Looks great! Do you have to add dye to the second side when you ice dye? or does the dye melt through completely.

[@CasualCollisions]

It depends on the the design and how it looks after the first cycle of ice melt. You can add a second round of ice to the first side, flip and dye the second side, place it in a container and do a muck dye, etc. Each option will result in a different final look.

[@avabenain7965]

Que clase de pintura o tinte utiliza

[@jeanw6668]

This is stunning. I am going to attempt this one. If I decide on a long sleeve shirt, what do I do with the sleeves?

[@CasualCollisions]

With a peacock design, think of how you'll have your arms most of the time. If they'll be down, I'd probably match the arm placement to "real life" to keep the pattern flowing.

[@Addisynedits]

Does it need to be soaked and then damp

[@elizabethdickerson1136]

Just curious. Did you apply more ice after the camera was off ??? I just seem to always use A lot of ice

[@janaheath4266]

How come you didn’t put dye the other side? Would it have changed it much?

[@kelleymcbride4633]

Beautiful results! I'm new to this craft you are the first person I've seen use powdered dye and ice cubes it seems to take longer but is there a benefit to this method over liquid dye? Thanks for the up! 🌈🤙

[@CasualCollisions]

Oh, there are many, many of us that ice dye. There's also LWI (Low Water Immersion) and HWI (Hot Water Irrigation) with both liquid and ice dye methods. Check out my "Batch Time Test" video for the results of all of those methods: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX-TgWauhKypfdE And, to see the difference between ice dyeing and liquid dyeing the same pattern, check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpiooYlvZZqfpqM If almost always prefer ice dyeing. It has less prep time and more color depth due to the dye splitting.

[@kelleymcbride4633]

@@CasualCollisions much appreciated! 🤙

[@marcellooliveira9943]

Can I ask you something? Did you put the paints together, mixed up? Because in the video you show that you are just putting a 'powder' on your shirt.

Looks like you rinsed with cold water, did you do anything special after the first rinse, like a textile detergent or retayne?

[@kennethzinpanlaqui6549]

i've been watching this may time, I just have a question, what is your method in rinsing this one, is it just water or you used synthrapol?? Hope you notice this. Thank you in advance. Love your videos! Bless up!

[@CasualCollisions]

My wash routine is: 1) Rinse-out in the sink until I'm sure the soda ash has been flushed along with any visible particulate dye. Typically a max of 2-4 minutes. I do not rinse until the water runs clear as I've seen no issues with contamination/bleeding in my shortened rinse process. 2) Wash in the washing machine with warm water and an extra rinse cycle using whatever detergent I have at the time. I haven't used synthrapol in about a decade and I haven't seen any issues arise by not using it. 3) I run the shirt(s) with a soft towel in the dryer. 4) After that, if it's a personal shirt, I toss it in with whatever else I'm washing on warm. In our house, we do not separate brights, colors, black, white, etc. *Everything* is washed together and I haven't seen any issues with color bleeding or excessive wear on the shirts.

[@pegrish7701]

This shirt is gorgeous. Wondering if you could go back and put a little powder dye on those spots and fix the white area you weren't happy about. Or would it mess it up?

I notice you have color labels on top of your dyes. I have been trying to figure out how to do that. I use the Dharma dyes as well. How did you get the swatches for the lid on the dyes? You're work is beautiful.

[@CasualCollisions]

I buy this each time I order new dye colors: www.dharmatrading.com/tools/fiber-reactive-poster.html Just cut out the swatches and use double-sided tape to attach them to the lids.

[@MM-go4ms]

@@CasualCollisions Thank you :)

[@smurfanaleater]

What's the difference between single side dye and double side dye?

[@CasualCollisions]

Whether you ice the same side twice or flip everything over, reapply dye, and ice from the second side.

@@CasualCollisions I had the same question. Did all of the dye dissolve? It's beautiful by the way.

This is probably the most basic question but is the shirt slightly wet? I am completely new to this so sorry if that should be obvious😅 I really love how that design looks, it is just absolutely stunning!

[@adrianyelnats6084]

I don't know if I'm asking this correctly but how many bottles worth of dye does the ice dye technique use. I'm thinking it uses more powder , but have no clue really

[@madamefirefly2911]

The containers from Dharma come in different sizes. 2oz 8oz and lbs. It takes just a couple of tablespoons to ice dye a shirt

[@madamefirefly2911]

Teaspoons. Not tablespoons. Sorry didn't proofread

[@CasualCollisions]

The spoon I use in almost all of the videos is a baby food spoon that holds less than 1/4 teaspoon of dye - even when the dye is heaped on. I don't keep track of the volume of dye I use per shirt; but, from inventory control, I know I average about 50 cents worth of dye per large shirt.

[@MrFarmax]

Would you recommend RIT dye?

[@CasualCollisions]

No. RIT dye is more like a stain while Procion fiber reactive dye bonds to the fabric fibers. The result is that shirts dyed with Procion dye stay vibrant for many, many dozens of washes. My sons have shirts that have been washed over 200 times and they still retain 70%+ of the original color saturation.

[@dhbillings]

Curious have you done this pattern using liquid dye, and if so how did the results compare?

[@CasualCollisions]

Here's a video that shows the difference between liquid and ice dye: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpiooYlvZZqfpqM

[@dhbillings]

@@CasualCollisions I'm familiar with both styles of dying in general, but I was wondering about this specific pattern. I could see a liquid dye version being amazing or just clunky, so I was just wondering.

[@CasualCollisions]

@@dhbillings - Ah, okay. No, I haven't dyed this pattern with liquid dye. It's pretty rare for me to liquid dye something as I generally don't like the look of liquid dyes.

[@dhbillings]

@@CasualCollisions I like both, and for different reasons.

[@ann2679]

this was so useful .I used your tutorial but most of my colors washed off.. do you know why?

[@CasualCollisions]

Did you use a fiber reactive dye, soda ash, and wait at least 24 hours before rinsing?

[@ann2679]

@@CasualCollisions no :( ... i put an equal amount of dyes and soda ash and put them at the same time. on my damp fabric. and does it matter if the fabric is 50% polyester?

[@CasualCollisions]

@@ann2679 - Yes, that's the issue. Fiber reactive dyes only work with 100% natural fibers. From my experience, even an 85% cotton shirt will show substantial loss in saturation.

[@lisaborsch8933]

Have you thought about using zip ties instead of rubberbands for folds like this one and can you put it in the freezer instead of using ice if using liquid dye instead of using solid dyes? I want to try this pattern fold from the bottom of the t-shirt. Can you use more than 3 colors? I want to make PRIDE shirts with that fold and I want to incorporate the different flag colors. That includes the rainbow.

[@abdosobhy]

How are the stitches still white and not dyed?

[@CasualCollisions]

Very tight sinew acts as a resist.

[@lucindawelenc2191]

If you mean the stitches that actually sew the shirt together, it's because it was sewn with polyester thread instead of cotton. Procion dyes will not bond to polyester. Stitches on a shirt sewn with cotton thread will dye the same colors as the shirt. But cotton-sewn shirts harder to find and more expensive.

[@CasualCollisions]

@@lucindawelenc2191 - I'm referring to the quality of the stitching, not the use of polyester thread. I routinely purchase the PFD version of the shirts that have cotton stitching for certain projects; but, the PFD versions have a very long torso compared to the standard G200 shirts so I don't use them for most projects. The polyester thread/undyed stitching is fine with me as I've found the polyester thread to be stronger than the cotton thread; but, the quality of the stitching since they changed to the silver tags is poor compared to the previous white tag versions of the shirts.
