Tie Dye Group Instructions
Tie Dye Group Instructions

INTRODUCTION

The Soda Soak Tie-Dye Method is the way to do this. Our recipes, abbreviated group instructions, and a lot of patterns using this method are in the new book, "Tie-dye" (#BTD), which we include in our larger (50/100 shirt) Group Kits.

Basically, you follow the Soda Soak Tie-Dye instructions (also shown below) en-mass. In a nutshell, what you do is fold and tie up the shirts (or whatever), soak them in a solution of soda ash and water for a few minutes, apply a solution of dye, water and urea, let them sit overnight in plastic bags, rinse them, untie them, rinse them some more, and wash them in a washing machine with synthrapol and hot water. Thats it! Easy!

The Dharma group kits have all the basics except the clothing, which we carry at very reasonable prices. Dharma white clothing is 100% cotton and tie-dyes beautifully. If having the thread of the garment also dye is important to you, watch for the little cotton plant icon on the clothing ad - if you don't see that icon, it is sewn with Polyester thread, which stays white. If you get your clothing elsewhere, make sure it's not a polyester blend! You'll get a very washed out look.

 

Other things you may need:

  • Large tables (card tables or picnic tables work)
  • Plastic tarps to cover tables
  • Buckets for the soda ash solution (plastic is best - 5 gallon is a nice size)
  • Old newspapers (at least 6-8 weeks old-so the ink doesn't come off) to absorb the excess dye under the clothing being tie-dyed
  • Bowls of water to rinse gloved fingers between colors
  • Measuring cups - 2 cups or larger-clear pyrex works great
  • Measuring Spoons and spoons for stirring the dyes
  • Big jugs with TIGHT fitting lids to hold large amounts of pre-mixed dye if you have a really large group
  • Funnel - to pour premixed dye solution into squirt bottles as folks use it up
  • Paper towels and/or sponges to wipe up messes!
  • Big garbage can or bags for trash

 

Optional things:

  • More rubber bands if doing complicated ties
  • More gloves if more than 12 people dyeing at once
  • More squeeze bottles if have lots of stations to set up
  • Waterproof aprons, especially with young children - or at least have them wear old clothes
  • "Reduran" cream to get dye off hands (see our catalog-it works good!)
  • Zip-lock plastic bags - if the students are going to take the clothing home to do the rinse out and wash (give them xerox of rinsing instructions - this is the easiest way to go for the instructors!)-otherwise, completed items can just be covered with plastic to stay damp overnight.
  • Plumber's tape from the hardware store. Cheap and a perfect fix if any of your squeeze bottles leak, which can sometimes happen because they are inexpensive and mechanically mass produced and there is no way for us to practically test them for you. Just take a couple of wraps around the threads and you won't have to worry. Plumber's tape is a tie-dyer's friend!

PREPARATION (before the session starts):

It is best to have the tables all set up, covered with plastic, etc. Ideal to set up a table for about 5 to 10 folks to work at once. Each work area should have newspapers, rubber bands, gloves, finger rinsing bowl, paper towels or a sponge, zip-lock baggies for the finished tie dyes if you are using them, and squirt bottles of premixed dye in the selected colors - at least 1 bottle of each color, which can be refilled from jugs of pre-mixed dye as needed when you have lots of folks. It is always best to use freshly made up dye, so you can mix it the morning of the class, or the night before at most. This allows for the brightest possible color. Set up "fixer stations" with buckets of premixed soda ash for soaking the tied shirts before applying the dye. Allow about a gallon of soda ash mix for each 8-10 adult t-shirts - 1 lb of soda ash makes about 2 gallons.

To figure out how much dye solution you will need, figure approximately 4 oz. of liquid mixed dye solution will completely dye one wet adult t-shirt. So 50 adult t-shirts would take 200 oz of dye mix. Divide the total ounces you need by how many colors you are using to determine how many oz. of each color you need to mix. Our recipe is for 8 oz, so use that and multiply it like a cookie recipe to get to the required amount. On a really big scale, you might need a calculator, but for example, 500 adult t-shirts would take 2000 oz, which works out to 15.625 gallons of dye (round up to 16 to be safe). For each gallon of dye mixture, instead of tediously measuring teaspoons, use about 1/2 cup of dye per gallon of water and 1 cup of Urea. 1/2 cup is very roughly 4 oz dry dye by weight, but every color has a different density, so yeild will vary. And of course, double to quadruple the dye for colors with 1 * or 2** by their name. For pastels use less. Also, it never hurts to make extra as everyone applies dye with a different flair. If your design will have more white, then of course, you will use correspondingly less dye. If you are doing little kids shirts, 4 oz might dye 2 or 3, and if you are doing large dresses, well, you get our drift. Don't forget to use a dust mask when mixing all powders!

An example:

Tie-dyeing 50 t-shirts in 3 colors, using 4 "stations" with 12 to 13 students taking turns at each station:

  1. Soda ash soak: 4 buckets, 2 1/2 gallons each, will take 5 lbs
  2. Dye: 3 colors in 16 oz squeeze bottles will tie-dye 12-13 shirts at each station, unless people really pour on the dye - for 4 stations, you would then need 12 bottles (kit has 6 - need 6 more)

 

ACTUAL PROJECT:

You can demonstrate tyeing to the whole group first, showing them how to tie their garments - then have folks do it at their station while it is fresh in their memory. Then all the shirts (or the first round, if folks are in line and taking turns) can be soaked at the soda ash stations 5-10 min. (Use heavy gloves to get the clothing out of the buckets, and gently press out the extra soda ash solution so they are not all drippy going back to the tables) While the shirts are soaking you can demonstrate how to apply the dye on a pre-tied and soaked garment. Be sure and demonstrate how to get the dye into the folds! Then turn 'em loose! Have them put their tied, soda soaked garments on some newspaper so it soaks up the excess while they are applying the dye. After garments are dyed, lay them all out on newspaper with plastic over the top to keep them damp for the curing process, making sure that shirts don't touch each other, or have each student put their garment in a zip-lock plastic bag. Then, have the students help clean up!


Caution! The soda ash solution is mildly caustic - it can irritate your skin.
Wear gloves and eye protection. Rinse off at once to avoid eye and skin irritation.


1. Fold and/or tie the fabric into the desired patterns.The designs will be more defined if you wet the shirt and squeeze or spin out excess water before folding.
2. Wear your dust mask and dissolve 1 cup (8 oz.) of Soda Ash Fixer per gallon of warm water. Soak the tied garments about 5-15 minutes (until saturated). Reuse solution until gone. Squeeze out excess so garment is just damp, not dripping.
3. Using your dust mask and gloves, combine water with all chemicals except dye. Add liquid to dye gradually, pasting up to avoid lumps. Apply dye with squeeze bottles, paint brushes, sponges, etc., as many colors as you want. Easiest to use a funnel to pour dissolved dye into squeeze bottles.
Dye Formula:
  • 8 oz. cup of warm water
  • (not hot, body temperature)
  • 2 to 8 teaspoons of Procion dye
  • Some colors are noted with * on
    the Procion dye page
    (Colors with no * = 2 teaspoons)
    (One * = 4 teaspoons)
    (Two ** = 8 teaspoons)
  • 1 tablespoon Urea
  • (dissolve in hot water first).
  • 1/4 teaspoon water softener
  • (if needed)
    (A little to slow spreading, and control color, if desired.)
    4. Put fabric (still tied) in a plastic bag (the idea is to keep it wet and chemically active - any method of keeping it wet is O.K.) and let sit for at least 4 hours but preferably 24 hours to "cure". Shorter times work better in summer, and longer times are needed when it is cold.
    5. Remove from bag and while still tied, rinse off the excess dye under cold running water (faucet, hose or shower), then rinse in warmer water while you untie and after garments are untied, until water runs fairly clear. Have your washing machine pre-filled with HOT water with Synthrapol or PTD and throw in the clothing as soon as it is rinsed, running it through a full cycle.
    VARIATIONS & HELPFUL HINTS
    • Dye shirt a solid color first using Tub Dyeing Method, then tie-dye using above method.
    • After step 4, untie and re-tie in contrasting pattern.
    • After tie-dyeing item, re-tie and use Discharge paste to bleach out a contrasting pattern.
    • Sprinkle pure Procion powder onto tied and pre-soaked item for different effect (super intense color. Use a salt shaker with lots of salt and some dye for a lighter application)
    • Put a small amount of Sodium Alginate thickener into dye mixture (step 3) to slow down the rate that the dye spreads and to create sharper edges.
    • In step 4 any method keeping the fabric wet is OK, needn't be a plastic bag - cover many with plastic drop cloth, wrap in plastic wrap, etc. The warmer the temperature where you lay out your tie-dyes to cure, the quicker the chemical reaction.
    • Use Water Softener if you suspect you have "hard" water.
    • DON'T USE HOT WATER. The dyes work best in warm water (105 degrees) except #25, which can be used slightly warmer. #250 does like hot water and doesn't do well for tie-dye.
    • Urea helps dye to dissolve, so dissolve the Urea in water first. Add this water to the dye powder gradually and paste it up to avoid lumps. Undisolved dye makes "explosions" of color or "freckles", so if a color is difficult to dissolve, straining through some light fabric might be necessary. Coffee filters only work if the dye is really liquid. Otherwise, they filter out too much of the dye.
    • If you have trouble making a paste of the colors, a little Calsolene Oil can help because it breaks the surface tension.
    • Squirt bottles are mechanically mass produced and once in awhile we get some that leak. A couple of wraps of that very inexpensive (~.60¢) thin white stretchy plumber's tape, that is available at any hardware store, around the threads solves this problem perfectly. No tie-dyer should be without it!
    • Cover your work surfaces with old newspapers or folded paper towels to absorb extra dye. Wear old clothes! After applying dye to one side, flip garment over and repeat the process. Inject the tip of the squeeze bottle into the folds for best dye penetration and less white on the final product.
    • With this dye, there is always lots of "excess dye" to be washed out. Don't crowd your washing machine with too much tie-dye or the water gets too muddy and so will your tie-dyes. Delicate items like rayon and silk are better hand washed or should go into a mesh bag on a gentle cycle so the agitation doesn't shred them.

    QUICK EXPLANATION
    OF THE CHEMICAL PROCESSES INVOLVED IN TIE-DYEING
    Fiber reactive dyes attach permanently to cellulose fibers using a covalent (electron-sharing) bond. These molecules carry a "chromophore" which absorb varying spectrums of the light, allowing only certain spectrums to reflect.
    Covalent bonding is the one of the most basic and strongest types of chemical reactions. This reaction happens gradually over time depending on temperature and/or the Ph level of the surrounding environment.
    The Soda Ash pre-soak raises the pH level of the garment or fabric to approximately 10.5. Raising the pH level of the solution that the fabric or garment is soaked in raises the level of negative hydrogen ions in the dyeing environment. The chemical bonding process uses these ions in the reaction. Pre-soaking in Soda Ash fixer solution is what allows the fiber reactive dyes to work at room temperature.
    The reaction can also be aided with heat. Some tie-dyers have had success with using baking soda and microwaving their dyed articles. Since baking soda is a weaker alkali than Soda Ash, it must be accompanied by heat. Some people who are "chemically sensitive" choose to use this method.
    The dye is allowed to react in a desirable host environment for up to 24 hours. After this time, the bonding sites on the cellulose should be saturated with dye molecules. Excess dye molecules that have not bonded permanently are washed away using warm water rinse and a dye-carrying detergent like Synthrapol.

     

    RINSING and INITIAL WASH:

    This is one of the most important steps to avoid "muddy" tie-dyes. Use gloves! While garment is still tied it needs to be rinsed as much as possible under cold running water (faucet, hose, shower, bathtub), then gradually untied while still rinsing. Get as much dye out as possible this way, then immediately wash with HOT water and Synthrapol or Dharma Professional Textile Detergent (PTD). Synthrapol is a special detergent that helps get the rest of the excess dye out so it won't bleed and run in future washings. Students could bring little jars to take some home in - warning-it can eat through plastic baggies. Remember, good rinsing procedure keeps the clothes from looking "muddy" and colors from running over each other into white areas. You can't skimp on water! Immediate washing with Synthrapol keeps the excess dye that is still left from bleeding onto other colors. Before washing, don't let the dyed clothing touch anything!

    CARE:

    Since procion dyes are "fiber reactive", they are very permanent and will not fade or bleed. Bleach or detergents containing bleach should not be used! If the garments have been properly rinsed and washed, they are safe to throw in with the family laundry!

The instructions could have easier for doing the whole thing. i.e. get 2 five gallon buckets an, flll 3/4's way up with warm water and add half soda ash (x cups) in each. Red you need X numbers of cups of water. For blue you need X number and Yellow you need X. I was able to figure it our, but I had to think... Heaven forbid.

Many parents have called or e-mailed to tell me how great they turned out. 2 parents have purchased kits for their own use. The colors are vibrant and there was no bleeding on the first wash (I used the detergent provided). The shirts and colors remind me of the wonderful tie-dyes sold on Telegraph Ave (if they still are there?) A far better product that the one used at my children's camp (those shirts ended up a muddy brown after several washings).

    Awesome. Ages ranged from 3 to 53 and they all enjoyed this very much. Would recommend using plumbers tape for bottles because they leak a lot but once we put the tape on there was minimal leakage. I think plumbers tape should be included in this kit because without it things get messy real quick and if trying to place dye on a specific spot or fold the leaking makes it very difficult.

    Awesome. We ordered this for a family reunion and everybody loved the project, from kids to grandparents! We also had tons of dye left over and went tie dye crazy and made shirts for an entire running team, plus tons of shirts & etc. for ourselves. Everything came out great. I wear my shirts all the time. My friends want me to host a tye dye party just for them! I'm super happy with the product. Thanks so much!

    I have used the tie-dye kits many years ago and they are still as fabulous as ever. The colors are bright and beautiful.

    It was a great kit!! The only thing that i didn't like is they didn't give you a funnel or anything to transfer the powder dye in the bottles....it was quit a hastle! Other than that it is a great product and would get it again

    The kit was great for our tie-dye party! I couldn't get the little beads to dissolve no matter what I tried, but our shirts came out just fine without it mixed into our dye solution.

    Everyone had a great time, the directions were easy to follow, my only suggestion would be to add a funnel to the kit so that you can easily pour the dye into the bottles.

    We had a great time! I had heard horror stories about messy unsucessful die dye projects but this kit made things easy. All the shirts turned out terrific - follow the instructions and it really is simple. Only advice - get extra gloves, the die does remain on your hands if you do not wear them. The shirts have all been washed several times and the colors are still bright. Thanks for making a scarey project fun!

    Very, very helpful. The book of examples is extremely useful. I used the kit with a classroom of students so I did need to purchase many more gloves than were included with the kit.

    The t-shirts my cheer team dyed came out wonderfully with this kit. We did run out of the colors more quickly than expected, though, and wished we had more red dye. Other than that, our experience was fantastic and the instruction booklet was a nice bonus!!

    I have been tie dying with my kids and their friends/classmates for more than 5 years. I have always picked up kits from the local craft shop and the shirts have turned out good enough. This year it was recommended to me to use your dyes..... I have to say I was nervous but the results were FANTASTIC! I was more than thrilled, the kids were thrilled, the parents were thrilled, I will never buy another dye from anywhere else ever again!

    The only thing that would have made it better was if you included a color mixing chart. Such as, this much blue and this much yellow to make green.
