I also loved real life popping in... I just have to say that I admire your perfect pleatings... Someday I'll be that good. As always... Enjoy your work immensely. You've taught me so much. Thank you for all you do.
Yes; but, I keep putting off making a video on it. They're much thicker than a t-shirt, require substantially more dye, the dye penetrates more shallow resulting in the need to either use liquid or several cycles of ice, and it's much more difficult to tie due to the thickness. (Which is a huge reason why I don't do them due to arthritis.) Also, if the hoodie has a zipper - you need to minimize the time it's in the soda ash or it will begin to damage the metal.
Thank you for your response! I am new to tie die but I am hooked. It’s like the hobby I never knew I needed. I live in the West Coast so a hoodie would be nice. I am sorry to hear you have arthritis. I have joint issues as well..it’s a real bitch. Take care brother and thank you again for your time and knowledge! God bless you and your family ❤️
I use guar gum; but, most people use sodium alginate. With guar gum, I start with about 1/4 tsp per 8oz of water and add to that depending on the consistency I'm looking for. After the consistency is correct, I add the dye powder and mix well. Guar Gum: amzn.to/2UiOS4d Sodium Alginate: amzn.to/2YmIhHt (paid amazon associate links)
Every shirt has to be soaked in soda ash first - without that step the Procion dye will not bond to the fibers of the shirt. Thickened dye will prevent it from soaking into the fabric as far - allowing greater control of the placement.
I use guar gum; but, most people use sodium alginate. Guar gum is usually available at the grocery store in the caning section. You'll use roughly 1/8tsp to 16oz of liquid.
I love your designs...please I have 2 questions, it will gladden my heart if answered 1) After tying, do you just leave the fabric out in the open for it to dry? 2) After rinsing off the dye, do u still wash with soap in the machine?
1) Yes. It's humid here, so there's no need to bag/cover the fabric during the 18-24 hour batch process. If you live in a low humidity area, you would likely need to bag the items. 2) Yes. I use soap in the washing machine. Procion dye binds to natural fibers so soap will not strip out any dye that's bonded. It only removes unbonded dye.
his unkind words and bad attitude pretty much wrecked this video, not her interruption, all he had to do was say he was making a video showing how to do cool folding. The only 'damage done' was his response
@@CasualCollisions What gauge, please? I have a few insulin needles, but they're a very fine gauge, I think 29. And I was doubtful that the dye would go through without clogging.
@@lucindawelenc2191 - I generally use 16ga; but, down to 22ga will work as long as it's a thickened dye. With thickened dye, you'll need to stick with 16ga or larger.

Thank you. This shirt came out amazing
Thank you!
Nice colours wonderful patterns l with improve my tie dye
Just curious what is the reason for thickening dye?
It limits the spread of the dye so it stays where it's placed. This type of design would be very difficult to do without thickened dye.
Have you ever done a hoodie and how hard is it (thickness and dye penetration) compared to a reg t-shirt? Thank you in advance brother.
Yes; but, I keep putting off making a video on it. They're much thicker than a t-shirt, require substantially more dye, the dye penetrates more shallow resulting in the need to either use liquid or several cycles of ice, and it's much more difficult to tie due to the thickness.

What brand of tie dye color would you recommend best? That would last long and will not fade.
I use Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes from Dharma Trading and Custom Colours: www.dharmatrading.com

Hi Great Vid How long will the mixed dye last in the bottle
What does thickening the black do to the shirt compared to just normal black? Also do i need to soak it in soda ash first?
Every shirt has to be soaked in soda ash first - without that step the Procion dye will not bond to the fibers of the shirt. Thickened dye will prevent it from soaking into the fabric as far - allowing greater control of the placement.
i want to study this styel where place to find...and how much to paid??
How do you thicken the dye? Cornstarch?

@@CasualCollisions thank you for the info. .I really like your channel. And the designs and ideas👍👍👍

Why not rubber bands for the whole process? Would it not be easier to handle, and just as tight?
GOOD DEMO.
Rubber bands are more difficult to work with and cannot be pulled as tight as sinew.
muito lindo adoro aranhas , obrigado
I feel like there was a translation error with your message. Google thinks you said, "I like spiders" - lol. But, thanks for the feedback!
Hey Sir I need dis for my project so pls answer me....can I iron it
Yes, you can iron it. Procion dye binds to any organic material and it can be washed dozens/hundreds of times with very little fading over years.
@@CasualCollisions thanks very much this vid helped me w my project
what kind of string do you use?
Artificial, waxed, flat sinew. You can buy 300-yard rolls on Amazon for $12-$20.
is that a yarn?the one you use to tie?
It is synthetic, waxed sinew.
Why didn’t you cut the string
It would lose it's strength.
No damage done honey, life happens.
Besutifull i i never see this
I love that your wife popped in! =)
He sure in hell didn't though...."the damage was done"

He buried her in the basement after this video legend goes😁
Are those meat injecting syringes?
No, just regular syringes with blunt-tip needles.
