• Getting Started Study the How to Dye basic recipe first. ... Procion MX dyes, urea, sodium carbonate, thin rubber or plastic gloves, measuring cups and spoons, squirt bottles to put the dye solution into for application, rubber bands, dust mask for measuring out dyes, and a bucket for pre-soaking the fabric in sodium carbonate solution. If you don't have everything you need, you can still tie today, and be ready to dye when you get the rest of your equipment! Be sure to pre-wash all clothing to remove invisible finishes that can prevent the dye from getting to the fabric. Why Tie? The whole point of tie dyeing is to prevent the dye from reaching the fabric evenly. Any place that the dye can't reach will stay white, or a lighter color, of course. ... If you don't tie, but just apply the dye directly, you need more space and can do fewer garments or pieces of fabric at a time. ... However, if you want to see pictures of how to do the ties, check out PROchem's illustrations of tie dye folds, actual photos of a tied spiral at Real Tie Dye, and Rit®'s Virtual spiral (though you'll find the dyeing process much easier if you use fiber reactive dyes such as Procion MX, instead of "all-purpose" dye such as Rit®, which requires that you hold the disk of fabric partially submerged in boiling water for a long time). ... Mike Fowler's DVD The Art of Tie-Dye (illustrated at right) shows in great detail how to tie a number of different tie-dye folds. ...
• Color Choice The two most obvious differences between a wonderful tie-dye and a so-so one are color choice and color saturation. You'll find that you really have to work to squirt enough dye into the folds to avoid a large amount of white on the finished garment. ... Now go to the How to Dye page for directions in how to mix and apply the dye.

• Unlike fabric, feathers don't need to be pre-wetted prior to the dye bath. ...

• HC13 Control of Dust From Powder Dye Handling Operations .
• Worker exposure to dye dust through breathing or skin contact can result in adverse health effects such as occupational asthma, eczema, and severe allergic reactions. ... Therefore, NIOSH recommends limiting dye dust exposures to the lowest feasible concentrations to prevent these health problems.
• Workers in powder dye handling operations are often poorly protected from dust exposures. NIOSH research has shown that worker exposures to dye dust can be effectively reduced by as much as 70% with the following combination of controls: adequate ventilation, redesigned bulk containers, and appropriate work practices.
• When manually transferring dye from these drums, many workers must lean forward and place their heads inside the drum to scoop out dye near the bottom. In this position, the worker is greatly exposed to airborne dye dust, even in a ventilated booth. ...
• Workers should use slow, smooth movements when handling dye to keep dust concentrations low. Dye transport distances between the bulk and process containers should be kept to a minimum. The height at which the dye is dropped into a container should also be kept to a minimum. ...

• First, there are several methods that you can use to dye:.
• I usually dye at night and let the dish sit, covered, all night. ...
• I like dark colors so I use one package of Kool-Aid (or other powdered drink mix) or one pellet, pill or powder of Easter Egg dye per ounce of fiber. ... The salt is a leveler and helps the dye be absorbed more evenly by the fibers. ...
• You can dye yarn or try fibers or roving. When I do a roving I measure out the ounce of roving, wrap it on my niddy noddy and loosely tie it when doing a dyebath or you can soak it in a solution of hot water, vinegar and salt and gently remove excess moisture, lay it on a piece of plastic wrap and then rainbow dye it. To rainbow dye either sprinkle the powder on the roving and press down to push the colors into the roving or mix a small amount of hot water with the powder or liquid dye and pour it onto the roving again pushing down on the fibers to move the dye into the center of the roving. ...
• You can also dip your yarn or roving into the simmering pot of dye and let part of it rest in the dyebath and then dip the other half or third into another dyebath to make a rainbow dye pattern on your fiber. ...
• I "waved" the roving for 2 minutes, pressed the dye in a bit more (don't get too carried away or you'll blend all your colors together), let it rest for a minute, then repeated the "wave" and rest 2 more times. ...

The best dye to use on cotton is a good fiber reactive dye such as Procion MX, Sabracron F, or Drimarene K (buy from one of the companies listed at Sources for Supplies). (Do not use all-purpose dye such as Rit® brand dye in this type of dyeing!) Use about 4 teaspoons of dye per cup. ... unless the dye is or contains turquoise, in which case you must double the amount (because you really need to dye by weight, not volume, and turquoise is very light in density), or black in which case you must use 2x or 4x as much. ...

• Be careful when you measure out the dye. ... Don't breathe dye! The stuff isn't very toxic, but you can become sensitized to it, which would put an end forever to your dyeing. ...
• Applying the dye. ...
• You still need to isolate very light colors (especially yellow/orange); the problem with transfer of unreacted dye from dark to light regions is reduced by waiting a full day or more before washing out, as dye which has not reacted with the fabric will tend to react with the water, if given enough time. ...
• The only reason to use a hot water wash is to rid the cloth of the last bits of unreacted dye. It is important to use cold water before using hot water, as hot water may, in the presence of the sodium carbonate, encourage some excess dye to become a little too closely associated with the fabric, resulting in dye that gradually rinses out over the course of many washings. ...
