SODA ASH!? What’s that white stuff I’m always using in my videos!? It’s soda ash!! Long story shorty soda ash is a crucial part of the tiedye process when using procion fiber reactive dyes! It allows the dye to lock into the fibers of the clothing and last longer. It’s what any “professional dyer” uses really… Let me know what you think in the comments! Are we liking tiedye Tuesday tip of the day!? Comment “guide” as well to get my PDF! Thanks for watching! Stay creative & do what you love!!🙌🏻

Tie dye season is here! Have you tried ice dyeing yet? It's so fun and easy!

One color, endless chaos. 🎨🧊 This is why ice dye hits different — when fiber reactive dyes hit melting ice they split into their base colors, creating wild, organic patterns you can’t plan. . . . . . . . . . . #FiberReactiveDye #ColorExplosion #handdyed #TextileArt #DyeSplitting #DyeMagic #DyeExperiment #ColorTherapy #icedyeing

Nature just became your best embellishment 🍃✨ @the_1of1_ shows how fall leaves transform into stunning DIY accents—a technique also used by @alyssajos_creation. Make it sustainable: Use vegetable-based glycerin instead of petroleum-derived, and pair with plant-based or fiber-reactive dyes. Eco-friendly from start to finish.

A few questions I get regularly; What type of dye are you using? Procion cold water reactive dyes, they require soda ash (sodium carbonate) to facilitate the chemical bond, they work with natural fibers like hemp and cotton. Why ice dye with powders instead of liquid dyeing? Ice dyeing is a neat alternative to liquid dye, as the powdered dye slowly melts over the ice and seeps through the fabric, the individual pigments can split apart, creating a unique watercolor like effect. Other factors can be manipulated like tilting the project as the ice melts creating additional trippy effects. Very fun process! Where did you learn this technique? Ice dyeing combines ancient Japanese resist dyeing methods called shibori with more recent tie dyeing techniques and materials made popular during the counter culture movement in the late 60s. Both art forms can be researched with online tutorials, books and Facebook groups. I stumbled upon ice dyeing about ten years ago and have been practicing almost daily ever since. Are the colors permanent? Yes! If the proper steps are taken during the dying process, then the pigments will be chemically bonded to the fibers. The final clip you see in my videos is following an extensive wash out process, including a series of hot water soaks to remove all of the unbonded dye particles. I hope you enjoy a peek at my process, I love this magical art form and am so happy to share. Thanks for watching!

1. Direct dyes: These dyes are typically used on cellulose fibers like cotton, rayon, and linen. They work by directly bonding with the fibers through weak Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding. Direct dyes are easy to apply and are commonly used for dyeing textiles in solid colors. 2. Reactive dyes: Reactive dyes are ideal for dyeing natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and silk. They form covalent bonds with the fibers, resulting in excellent colorfastness and wash resistance. Reactive dyes are versatile and can produce a wide range of vibrant colors. 3. Acid dyes: Acid dyes are primarily used for dyeing protein fibers like wool, silk, and nylon. They require an acidic environment (pH 4-5) to adhere to the fibers. Acid dyes form ionic bonds with the protein molecules in the fibers, resulting in bright and vibrant colors. 4. Basic dyes: Basic dyes are used for dyeing synthetic fibers such as acrylic, polyester, and nylon. They require a basic environment (pH 9-10) for dyeing. Basic dyes are cationic, meaning they carry a positive charge and are attracted to the negatively charged synthetic fibers. They produce intense and brilliant colors on synthetic materials. 5. Disperse dyes: Disperse dyes are primarily used for dyeing synthetic fibers like polyester, acetate, and nylon. These dyes are insoluble in water but can be dispersed in a dispersing agent to form a fine suspension. Disperse dyes rely on heat and pressure to penetrate the fibers and achieve dyeing. They are commonly used for dyeing polyester fabrics in vibrant and long-lasting colors. 6. Vat dyes: Vat dyes are used for dyeing natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and rayon. They are insoluble in water and require a reducing agent, such as sodium hydrosulfite, and an alkaline environment for dyeing. Vat dyes form insoluble pigments within the fibers through a complex chemical process called vatting. They produce deep and colorfast shades, making them suitable for textiles that undergo frequent washing and exposure to sunlight.
