Tie-Dye Techniques

Every tie-dye piece starts with a technique. We use three distinct methods to create our designs, each producing its own unique character and style. Learn what makes each one special.

The Classic Method

Liquid Dye

The traditional tie-dye method that's been creating vibrant, eye-catching designs for decades. Fiber-reactive dyes are dissolved in water and applied directly to fabric using precision squeeze bottles, giving you complete control over color placement.

  • Most versatile technique for creating defined patterns
  • Allows precise color placement and bold, vibrant results
  • Perfect for spirals, hearts, mandalas, and geometric designs
  • Colors remain bright wash after wash
Bleach Tie-Dye Magic

Reverse Dye

Also known as bleach tie-dye, this technique removes color from dark fabrics rather than adding it. The result? Stunning, high-contrast designs on black, navy, and other dark-colored garments that are impossible to achieve with traditional dyeing.

  • Creates unique effects on dark-colored garments
  • Results in organic, unpredictable patterns
  • Can be combined with over-dyeing for multi-tonal effects
  • Perfect for edgy, contemporary designs
Watercolor Wonders

Ice Dye

A magical technique where dye powder is sprinkled over ice placed on folded fabric. As the ice slowly melts, it carries the dye into the fibers, creating dreamy, watercolor-like patterns with soft edges and beautiful color blending that can't be replicated any other way.

  • Creates soft, watercolor-like organic patterns
  • Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind
  • Produces subtle color gradients and unexpected blends
  • Results are unique and unrepeatable
