DYES: Tie-Dye We highly recommend Procion dyes for direct application tie-dye on cotton. With this method, the first step is to soak the fabric or garments to be tie-dyed in soda water. Then roll, pleat, stitch, knot or wrap. Then apply the dye — our pipets work well. The work is never immersed as a whole, and the colors stay more distinct and brighter. See the schematic below, or go to our "Tie-Dye Riff" (under "Instructions", from our home page or from "Products") for more information. A few basic tie patterns are included. NOTE: Procion dyes work beautifully on cotton, and not at all on polyester. Be sure to check fiber content. The polyester part of a blend will not take dye.
