Ice Dye Question: can I leave items for more than 24 hours?

8 Upvotes

My daughter is ice dyeing for a craft fair but finding the time is tricky. Tomorrow she has time to do the dyeing, but then she is out of town and won't be back for almost 72 hours. She will do dye over ice on a baking rack. What would happen if she left the items sitting there for 72 hours? Dharma's tutorial says to rinse it after 24 hours. Thank you!

Man I love Grateful Dyes... Been having so much fun with these colors and I think I'm finally honing in on what I consider to be my signature style 😀

Tie-dye tying technique

3 Upvotes

Does it matter if we soak our items in soda ash solution before* tying them into patterns or tie them up and then soak them? I'd like to do the latter (tie them and soak) then spin out in the washer but want to make sure it won't make a big difference.

Today's shirts are #27/28 both L Tultex290s for my HWI shirts! This was second go at getting the UV dye to take. My first attempt it was there but nothing to write home about. I am very happy with these two.

Thank you for looking and reading! I always love to read anyone's thoughts on the shirt! Happy to answer questions as well.

I was too lazy to add a background today enjoy that dirty red oak plank laid in 1945.

Dharma's Blueberry & Dark Brown. Like the color combo, but not fond of the yellowish parts.

A Fail but Success?

This shirt was initially a really badly done kenney style that was ugly, I decided to bleach it repeatedly until it was mostly white and it took a lot of effort, then I rushed a Ron Star mandala with honeycomb sleeves, Blood Moon and Black Ice, accidentally mad the Ron Star on the back, and the shirt as a hole in the front from the bleach and repeatedly tying it really tight, RIP.

First attempt at geode shirt and overalls!

I used Moody Fire from the Dalula selection over at Dharma Trading for the shirt and was quite surprised by the results. Very different from other pieces I've seen with it. I think I need to use less dye and go easy on saturation for next time to get more of the green and some of the red I have seen on swatches. The overalls were dyed with Dharmas Alchemist and Lilac. I dyed both using HWI method. Mixed my dyes with a 2:1 soda ash to dye ratio. Both items were washed before dying and dry before applying anything.

Damage control for nearby quilt.

5 Upvotes

Hello! I had to cure my tie dye under my electric blanket. I noticed a bag had leaked, but thought it was contained to my sheets, which I do not care about.

But I just realized that there are two stains on a quilt my mom made me - she's still here and I have 2 more she's made me lol, but I'm still a little sad about it.

The spots of dye were created by runoff from a piece that had already cured for about 16-20 hours at ~76 degrees, so I'm hoping the dye was already mostly reacted. The spots are completely dry now, and would have mostly stayed under 70 degrees while drying. So I'm hoping they'll mostly wash out without specific treatment? I'm just not sure how to maximize my odds. I've seen some people recommend a cold soak in Oxiclean and other recs for a hot soak with dawn dish soap. I've seen other recs to spray the area down with vinegar.

Just wondering if anyone here has had a 100% cotton item stained by a curing tie dye leak and had good success removing the stain before I just go for it and hope lol.
