Suitable Fabrics

Works best on natural fibres: 100% cotton, viscose, silk and linen deliver the most vibrant results. Note: Polyester and other synthetic fabrics will not absorb the dye — always check the care label first.

7 Tie Dye Techniques to Try

• Spiral: The classic — twist the fabric from the centre and apply colours in wedges.
• Crumple: Simply scrunch up the fabric, add rubber bands and apply colour — perfect for beginners.
• Bullseye: Concentric circles for a bold, targeted look.
• Accordion / Stripes: Fold the fabric into pleats and apply colours in stripes — clean and graphic.
• Heart Pattern: Fold the fabric, shape half a heart with rubber bands — a real eye-catcher.
• Shibori: Traditional Japanese technique using folding and binding for elegant patterns.
• Ice Dye: Sprinkle dye powder over ice and let it melt — creates unpredictable, watercolour-like effects.

Tips for Best Results

• Pre-wash fabrics: Wash without fabric softener first — sizing blocks dye absorption.
• Dampen before dyeing: Slightly damp fabric absorbs colour more evenly.
• Let it set: 6–8 hours minimum, ideally overnight. Longer = more vibrant colours.
• Rinse carefully: Rinse under cold water until it runs clear, then wash alone the first time.
• Always wear gloves: The dye is difficult to remove from skin.
• Ventilate well: Ensure good airflow when mixing the powders.
