First we soak the item in soda ash for 20-40 minutes. It then runs though the washing machine on the spin cycle. We then tie, swirl, pleat, scrunch, fold etc- any of these techniques can take anywhere from 15 minutes all the way up to two hours per item. We then use procion fibre reactive dye (non toxic) either DOI (Dye over ice) or DUI (Dye under ice) place the ice on then let it batch for 24 hours. We then wash it out which can be the most time consuming part. We then steam the items and photograph them. 🩷
