I think both swatches look the same.

I have tie-dyed 3 shirts, and they are in ziplock bags. This was just because work gave me a white shirt with logo that needed more color. I did not presoak in soda ash, but it’s in the mix. I have old tie-dyed shirts that still look good that I did not presoak in soda ash. I did wash shirts and do while damp. I am looking for tips on getting color to stay, how long to leave in bag, and what water temp to wash them on, and how to dry. All 3 done in same color, so can they be washed together? what about adding salt to washing it? I don’t typically dry my shits in dryer, but lay flat to dry or hang up. I always thought washing on cold water was best to get colors to stay.

Is it ok to use cold water for the soda ash fixer step from Grateful Dyes? I’m hosting a tie dye party tomorrow with a bunch of friends to dye onesies, bassinet sheets, burp cloths etc. We’ll be at a brewery/farm that doesn’t have a warm/hot water dispenser, just cold water… will that be ok? Will it need to sit longer than the 5-10 minutes they recommend? Thanks for any help!

hi! im following a youtube tutorial that said i need soak the shirt in a soda ash solution, wrint it out, and then the the shirt before letting it dry completely. im now finding out that i probably didnt wring it out well enough, cause its takint forever to dry. i dont really want to untie it. is it okay to throw it in the dryer while its still damp from the soda ash solution?

Only used Indigo Blue. I'm not there yet, guess I would like it more 'flowing'. But I like it and will wear it nevertheless. 😜
