Tie Dye: Single-Color Spiral HWI [Vertical, HWI, Ice Dye]

[@Turandot29]

This is a fabulous outcome. I like the white negative space and all the color splits.

[@virginiavoigt2418]

I love working with black alone. So many gradations happen plus a number of surprises like the brown you experienced. I love your experiments.

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks!

[@Enkiguy]

Earth tones and minimal color themes are usually my favorites. This shirt is really cool.

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks!

[@RoeRoe123]

Beautiful colors in that black and yes, I love that brown!

[@robertrollins1167]

Not what i was expecting from just black, pretty awesome shirt.

[@henryhuot7403]

Beautiful I'm just starting to Tie Dye. I've learned alot from you Thank you. Have Fun Tie Dyeing ✝️❤️✌️🤝🇺🇸

[@GmaPat]

This is beautiful. I love the different textures. Hope to see more vertical inclines!

[@CasualCollisions]

More vertical tie dyes are in the works for 2021.

[@maddieb4735]

The details remind me of snowflakes! I really love single color ice dyes. It's fascinating to me how the color splits! Visually stunning. Thanks for sharing! Another winner!

[@CasualCollisions]

Thank you.

[@kitiaram6613]

Ok, so I tried this, ice dye only. I used a cereal box to hold the spiral up. I really like how it turned out, even the little specks of the individual dyes that showed up in spots. Thank you, this was amazing. I am really loving your videos.

[@kitiaram6613]

I had my shirt presoaked in soda ash, I did not add any with the powdered dye.

[@CasualCollisions]

You shouldn't need to add extra soda ash if the shirt is pre-soaked, unless you add a lot of extra ice.

[@ehuddl59]

Like your videos. Like the fact you comment on your shirt after it’s done. I like the shirt. I like the low water immersion technique. I tried it one time. Instead of using warm water it was boiling.

[@CasualCollisions]

Knowing how things turn out for me, if I used boiling water, I'd end up in the ER.... :)

[@marcmillet906]

niiiiice! love the way the colors turned out.

[@cosminamuntean7321]

Very beautiful result. Soo far my favorite, Enjoying your videos and your knowledge, thank you .

[@marisaleva7441]

Love this! I like that the middle stayed white. Very cool effect!! I really like that you experiment with different methods and combinations of methods. Definitely going to try this!! I'm enjoying LWI technique. Never thought of combining it with ice dyeing. Thank you for all you do and share with us!

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks for watching!

[@shawnahinson8602]

This turned out really cool!

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks!

[@mollypeds1]

I love this. It's kind of exactly what I was looking to do for my brother. The coloring is perfect!! I have a long sleeved tee under ice right now. So glad I can put some hot water on it tomorrow morning. Hope it comes out OK because I had already soaked it in soda ash.

[@mollypeds1]

My dark black dye split with just the blue but it's so gawjus!! Was trying for the orangey reddish split but I'm pretty sure my brother will still love it.

[@CasualCollisions]

The black splits are very unpredictable and vary quite a bit between both the black color options as well as each batch of black. There are just so many "primary" dyes in the black dyes.

[@krystinatremblay826]

It is really really nice.. the feather effect is amazing... i am new in tie dye .. i'll try this effect and let you know how it came out. Thank you for all you do!

[@CasualCollisions]

Cool. I look forward to hearing how it turned out for you.

[@StephanieDugger-hw9di]

Oh my gosh I've gone to your etsy page so many times and never realized that you live in Temple Texas!! I live in Bastrop Texas right outside of Austin. Im trying to bring some tie dye love to this cute country town. You have given me so much inspiration!! I would love to pick your brain about tie dye.

[@tomcollins8969]

This is pretty bad ass. I will be giving technique a try.

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks. Let me know how it turns out.

[@varieties8438]

uiii te quedó cheverísimo..ese tono está hermoso!!

[@CasualCollisions]

Thank you.

[@TheWVbear]

This is really cool! I am currently doing an ice, one sided heart LWI/HWI experiment. I would love to see more of your experimentation on this subject 🙂

[@CasualCollisions]

I think I have one more experiment video that's still un-released. It's a slight variation on this one. I'm not sure when I'll release it or if I'll get to making more experimental videos this year. We shall see...

[@Spooder_lady_n_minis]

Thanks for these videos. I have been wanting to try lwi with powder and your videos are really encouraging me to give it a try more.I really love this shirt

[@CasualCollisions]

You're welcome. Let me know how it turns out for you.

[@BLKMGK4]

I really like this idea for vertical dyeing - will be trying it for sure! I suspect those soft areas are the HWI, the hot water seems to soften things for me. Love the splitting, I was surprised since you did it below the ice and I have found splits on top of ice mostly. Like the overall effect!

[@CasualCollisions]

I prefer ice on top of almost everything when I ice dye. With more patterned designs, it results in much greater control of the final placement.

[@dclassiter2005]

I love this 1. I like the brown.

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks!

[@inkedtoo1097]

This is beautiful. I love it. Did you do the hot water just to do the hwi video or to hurry the process? Could you have had the same result doing another round of ice? I'd really like to do one of these.

[@zookeepersteph]

i am in love with this! thanks (as usual) for the cool idea - kinda crazy how beautiful this came out

[@CasualCollisions]

Thank you.

[@caitlinelizabeth90]

I love it. Mind blowing that that is just one color of dye?

[@CasualCollisions]

Yes and no. There are 22 "primary" Procion dyes that are a single, "non-splitting" color. Then, those 22 dyes are used by distributers to create a palette of hundreds/thousands of colors you can purchase. Most of the commercial black options are made up of 10+ of the 22 primary dyes. So, while it's a single commercial "black" dye being used, it's component colors will split at various stages when ice dyeing.

[@jessicabarker7267]

This reminds me of the feel of the colander spirals but in reverse.. Instead of the center bleeding out and fading to the edges, the edges bleed out and fade to the center (if that makes sense?) Very cool!

[@carmelopupillo739]

Excellent! Love it. Thank you,I will be trying it out tomorrow.

[@CasualCollisions]

Cool. Let me know how it turns out!

[@amandayarborough2420]

This is beautiful! Must try ❤

[@juljadeamigos3567]

[@childofthelight9071]

Very interesting way to do it!

Thank you.

[@evilxcupcake]

I love it!

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks.

[@bridgetgidget72]

This shirt looks a lot like the fossilized ammonites that I used to find in North Texas. I love the design and would also like to buy this shirt!

[@CasualCollisions]

I found a few while digging through the road cuts looking for crinoid stems and other items with my dad in near both Cleburne and Brownwood, TX when I was younger.

[@margotsanderford7050]

I wonder if you added a little more dye in the center of the dye area and added two layers of ice if that would have filled the white part of the spiral a bit more. I really like it! Excited to try it. Do you think turquoise or grape from dharma dyes would split colors like your black dye did? Or better black, raven black, jet black or best black? Also, why did you choose that black ? It is an awesome look

[@CasualCollisions]

There are 22 "primary"/single-component color dyes from Procion. These colors will not split into different colors; and, Turquoise is one of those primary colors. Grape will split; but, if I remember correctly, it has 3-4 component colors versus colors like Oxblood Red and most of the blacks that have 10+ colors. I only stock two blacks: Dharma's Better Black and Custom Colours Dark Black. For a solid black with liquids, I usually use Better Black and for ice dyeing where I want splitting, I generally use Dark Black. I haven't tried Raven, Jet, or Best.

[@craigstevens3619]

If the pleats in the center were thicker the would have caught more sa and dye. These were skinny in the center and missed the runoff considerably. All in all I love how it looks great job as usual bro!!

[@DarthUmbreon]

Woah that looks wild I might have to try that!

[@CasualCollisions]

If you do - let me know how it turns out.

[@DarthUmbreon]

@@CasualCollisions Yeah I definitely will! Still don’t have soda ash tho, can you buy it at the grocery store?

[@CasualCollisions]

@@DarthUmbreon - Yes, it's around $3.50 for 3.5 pounds. It's Arm & Hammer's Super Washing Soda. Soda ash is also available in pool supply stores as 30 to 50 pound buckets for about $25 - $35.

[@lynnlees7775]

This is great. My question is, could I just do the ice dye part? Assume I would need to soak shirt in soda ash first. Thanks.

[@CasualCollisions]

Yes; but, the results will be different. Here's an example of a single-color ice dye: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYiykqyciJJmrLc

[@Erickridebikes]

I made one last night.. came out pretty cool too

[@CasualCollisions]

Sweet. Glad it worked out for you.

[@Erickridebikes]

@@CasualCollisions What other desings can I try this?

[@CasualCollisions]

@@Erickridebikes - I haven't done much with it since I recorded it back in June due to a shoulder injury. I would guess pretty much anything would work like this as long as you're good with white sections in the final design. I do have a list of things to try; but, I still haven't got back into it yet.

[@Erickridebikes]

@@CasualCollisions Oh Didn't know that, hope you are doing good now. I don't like white on my t shirts but the one I made came out with a little of white. Can I sent you a pic on facebook?

[@CasualCollisions]

@@Erickridebikes - Yes, you can: facebook.com/casualcollisions/

[@geriannwatts4024]

Love it!

[@CasualCollisions]

Thank you!

[@mattcloud307]

That is awesome! I think it would be cool to do that then wash it out and let it soak in a second really diluted color. Or maybe use red and blue together and watch how it splits.

[@CasualCollisions]

The video published today is of red and blue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emOac6uDp8ipbs0 I still prefer the black due to the more interesting results from the colors splitting. I've added your request to add a background dye color with this method to my to-do list.

[@mimibarbie90]

This is so cool! Would this work with any color and still give different shades? Could a hoodie or sweatshirt be dyed using this technique or is that too think of a material? Sorry for all the questions

[@CasualCollisions]

The majority of the Procion dye colors will split - unless they're a "primary" color.

[@woofiestardust]

This is so cool! I was wondering if you were gonna decide to throw some liquid dye into that white middle, I think I'd like to try that just to see what it looks like :)

[@CasualCollisions]

I prefer the contrast with the white. I know, I know.... I rant about "not wanting random white areas in my shirts"; but, this works for me as part of the design. ;)

[@DabblinDawn]

Love this!!!

[@CasualCollisions]

Thanks!

[@m.m.k...]

I absolutely love it, I would wear this. How do you think this would work with liquid dye? What color of dye would I use to achieve that look?.. I really like the earthly tone!

[@CasualCollisions]

Here's a video on Low Water Immersion that uses a liquid dye. It's dyed horizontal while this one is vertical, though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWPaenqbYr95r6s

[@m.m.k...]

@@CasualCollisions very interesting looks with that low water immersion! What colors should I try to get the colors in this video?

[@CasualCollisions]

This was a single-color dye: Dark Black from www.customcoloursinc.com/

[@Enkiguy]

I also meant to ask...is dark black just like a regular black? My dye provider has 2 blacks. Cotton black and black.

[@CasualCollisions]

Every distributer has their own names for their colors. Dark Black is a Custom Colours dye. Each black will split differently as the component colors within the black dye are different. Some skew blue, some violet, some red, some yellow, etc.

[@maryhwang2849]

LOVE the shirt! I know you said it wasn't soaked in soda ash, was the shirt dry when you started?

[@CasualCollisions]

No, I dye almost everything while it's damp.

[@paulschwarz1074]

First of all, thank you for all your beautiful videos and for the inspiration! Already tried 1 of your guides and I think I got addicted, as i just watched your videos for 4 hours straight today. My Question is: Could you recommend me a replacement colour from Dharma for this #618 Dark Black? I can't get Custom Colours in Europe :/ But there are so many dharma blacks that I got confused, probably I should stick to the higher number blacks? P.S. I also stumbled over your health status vid from 2018, I hope you're doing well and that you'll be able to continue your awesome work as long as you enjoy it.

[@CasualCollisions]

With Dharma, Better Black or Raven Black would be the best options. With regards to my health - it depends on the day. My vocabulary and memory are still greatly affected, periodic numbness in my face still occurs, and there are days where I'm in bed the great majority of the time. But, the rest of the issues are very sporadic and the speed of my speech is mostly normal.

[@danuiselt9703]

Where can I get this color ?? Can’t find it

[@SCOTTIETHOMPSON10314]

[@gregnelson8953]

Was the shirt wet or dry when you spiraled and/or iced?

[@CasualCollisions]

Almost all the shirts are damp when I dye. I try to specify in the videos if they're dry for specific techniques.

[@marifeshimada7476]

What solution did you mix in the water I want to try

[@CasualCollisions]

Soda ash

[@williamrains8328]

What's the size maybe a smaller shirt the dye penetration might get to the center

[@CasualCollisions]

It was either a large or XL as those are generally the only sizes I work with unless a custom request comes in.

[@briangookool4543]

you don't say if do the spiral in the front or back inside out

[@jayson6122]

Uhm where does red and blu came from?

[@CasualCollisions]

From the black dye. There are 22 primary Procion dyes. From those 22 primary dyes, hundreds of dye colors are produced. In the case of most black dyes, 8-12+ primary colors are used, in varying ratios, and when ice dyed those primary colors split out of the black dye.
