The procedure of  tie dye ordinarily comprises of collapsing, contorting, creasing, or folding fabric or an article of clothing and tying with string or elastic groups, trailed by use of dye(s). The controls of the fabric before use of dye are called opposes, as they in part or totally keep the connected dye from coloring the fabric. More advanced tie dyes include extra steps, including a beginning use of dye preceding the oppose, numerous successive dye and oppose steps, and the utilization of different sorts of opposes (sewing, stencils) and release.

Dissimilar to standard resist dyeing strategies, tie dyed is described by the utilization of brilliant, immersed essential hues and strong examples. These examples, including the winding, mandala, and peace sign, and the utilization of various strong hues, have gotten to be threadbare since the crest notoriety of tie dye in the 1960s and 1970s. The dominant part of presently delivered tie dyes utilize these plans, and numerous are mass-created for wholesale appropriation. Nonetheless, another enthusiasm for more "refined" tie dye is developing in the style business, portrayed by basic themes, monochromatic color scheme, and an emphasis on popular pieces of clothing and fabrics other than cotton. A couple of craftsmen keep on pursueing tie dyed as a work of art as opposed to an item.

Step 1:Wash fabric 

Wash fabric to uproot any sizing or oils on the fabric that may meddle with the dye.

We incorporate this guideline in light of the fact that it is a long standing suggestion in fabric dyeing. Unless you are worried about the wellness of the fabric or tie dye, you don't have to try washing the fabric first.

Step 2: Prepare fixer water

In a plastic can, or other suitable holder, blend ¾ container dye fixer every gallon of warm water. Grow formula as required.

Dye fixer is a substance called sodium carbonate or soda fiery remains. Wear gloves to keep it from disturbing your skin and abstain from sprinkling it into eyes to evade disturbance and blazing; regard it as you would a solid cleanser.

Step 3: Soak Fabric 

Splash the material to be dyed in the dye fixer arrangement. Let the fabric absorb the answer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the fabric is totally soaked. You can reuse the fixer water and treat a few bunches of fabric in the same mixture.

Step 4: Fold, Twist or Tie

Wring out overabundance fixer water over into the fixer water basin. Place the "altered" fabric on dyeing surface and crease, twist or tie it into the example you need to dye. You can discover directions on basic outlines later in this guide. The dye spreads on the fabric in distinctive routes relying upon how wet the fabric is with fixer water. Wetter fabric causes the dye to stream out into fabric in more fluffy or marbled examples. Dryer fabric yields cleaner lines and less spreading. Diverse dye examples look better with changed fixer wetness levels in the fabric. Case in point, marble examples look better when beginning with a wetter shirt, and striped examples look better on dryer shirts.

Step 5: Prepare Chemical Water for dyes 

Synthetic water comprises of Urea, Ludigol and alternatively Water Softener. The formula for Chemical Water is ¾ container urea, 2 teaspoons ludigol, and a discretionary 1 teaspoon water conditioner for each 1 quart of warm water. This will be the "Substance water" you will blend your dye powders with to make your dye colors. On the off chance that you don't have the chemicals for concoction water, you will blend the dye powders with plain warm water. Extend formula as required.

Step 6: Mix dye colors 

In this stage, you are not making enormous cans loaded with dye. You will be blending dye powder with "substance water"  or plain warm water in glasses, bottles, or different compartments in little, thought groups. You can control the shade of the colors you blend by utilizing distinctive quantities of dye as a part of your concentrated dye arrangements. For splendid, solid colors, blend 4 to 6 teaspoons dye powder some compound water. For medium shades, blend 2 to 4 teaspoons dye powder some compound water. For light or pastel shades, blend ¼ to 2 teaspoons of dye powder some concoction water. Mix dye well to disintegrate dye powder totally.

Step 7: Apply the dye 

With fabric on dyeing surface, apply dye to fabric by squirting dye onto the fabric with a pipette, press container, or other dye application instrument. Most dyeing examples call for immersing the fabric with dye. The misstep most apprentices make is to not squirt enough dye into the fabric. Apply all the diverse colors as of now. Flip the fabric over and apply dye to both sides of the fabric, soaking every side of the fabric.

Step 8: After you dye 

After you are done dyeing the fabric, allow it to sit unbothered. Try not to untie it. Try not to hang it up to dry. Abandon it tied up, and allow it to sit unbothered. Let the fabric sit for 2-24 hours. The more you can let the fabric sit, the simpler it will be to wash out free dye from the fabric. The time span you let the fabric sit is not excessively discriminating. In the event that you are in a rush, let the fabric sit the length of your due date will permit.

Step 9: Wash free dye from fabric 

Wear gloves while taking care of the fabric, as the dye will at present stain your hands until after it has been washed. Place fabric under icy running water and flush until no more dye leaves the fabric. We generally say "flush until you're tired of washing." A considerable measure of free dye will wash out off the fabric. This is typical. The wash water may turn dark or chestnut, and the fabric may look discolored with "filthy" dye. This is typical too." After flushing, move to clothes washer. You may wash a few pieces immediately, up to a full load, even if washing distinctive colors. Starting here, you can proceed with or without Synthrapol SP Detergent. The best and most straightforward approach to wash out free dye is with Synthrapol SP Detergent. Synthrapol SP is an extremely thought and sudsy cleanser - a little goes far. In the event that you have a front stacking clothes washer, don't utilize Synthrapol SP as it is excessively sudsy. Front stacking or low water clothes washers have a tendency to not wash out free dye well, in light of the fact that they don't have enough water to weaken the dye and divert it.

With Synthrapol SP: 

Put your dyed shirts specifically into a top stacking clothes washer, including Synthrapol SP cleanser. On the first washing, utilization frosty water. Utilize 1-2 tbsp of Synthrapol SP on the off chance that you have washed the majority of the free dye out by hand, and up to ¼ measure of Synthrapol SP for intensely dyed burdens. The more dye you are endeavoring to wash out, the more Synthrapol SP you will utilize. Utilize warm or high temp water on consequent washings. Include littler measures of Synthrapol SP Detergent on every extra washing. Wash fabric the same number of times as you need you've washed out all the free dye and the water in the flush cycle is clear.

Without Synthrapol SP:

If you don't have Synthrapol SP Detergent, use normal clothing cleanser in sums for a typical wash load. Wash fabric the same number of times as you have to until you've washed out all the free dye and the water in the flush cycle is cycle is clear.
