Dye Like A Girl

[Yarn Cruiser]

thanks to everyone who came out. Everyone helped out in one way or another and it was so appreciated! I can't wait to see everyone's stuff turns out. Please post pictures. We had some sweet trucks out in front of the house for a while and played with the mini trucks out back.

Safety first when handling dry dye powder!

An excellent time was had! Thanks @Yarn Cruiser & @DomOfTheDead for hosting and all the work that went into it before anyone showed up.

Photos of tie dyed shirts should hit this thread tomorrow.

So this was seriously so much fun! It's hard to put into words how much I love colors. I am so grateful I was able to share my love of throwing colors at stuff and seeing what happens with others. I have seen some sneak peaks of projects already. They are so freaking cool! I have some new ideas for next time. From designs and use of color(s). I can't wait to do this again. Reach out if this sounds fun.

Lilac was a crowd favorite. It's a purple that broke into blue. Then I broke my black dye while mixing it. Some dye powders break down and mix easily. Others, not so much. I had left over black pigment that I added more water to and it turned into what I called "sorta cherry". That's the fun science side of color. You can see the lilac breaking effect on my first shirt picture on the right corner.

My first shirt of the day and it came out better than expected.

This one didn't come out how I wanted. Still looks rad but I may try this one again.

Love how the colors came out here.

This one is my favorite! Looks like I have a picnic shirt.

I love spirals but will need to push for different patterns and colors for next time. Can you tell what my favorite color is? 😆

Just got the dye rinsed out and took some photos. They’re still wet here.

@Cruisertrash I am taking notes! These are stellar.

 

[Cruisertrash]

@Yarn Cruiser Nah …. I’m in awe of your spiral.

 

[Yarn Cruiser]

It was the fork! It really helped get a tight spiral.

Here are mine. I think the dress shirt turned out the best of all of them. Was fun! First time ever doing that and I'll probably wear these shirts more than I would otherwise.

I might have forgotten to post these photos until now. Amy and I had tons of fun. Thanks to Brandi and Dom for hosting this event. It was fun to have a club event that wasn't on trail. I didn't realize until posting them, but the colors are more vibrant in person than in the photos. I like the results a lot.

I am not quite sure where to post it, so I will toss it in here. There are hundreds of tie dye pros on Instagram. Holy Shirt Balls.... These artists are amazing what they can create. Here are two:

Those turned out awesome!

Thanks! We were really happy with the results.

It was quite easy with the vibrant dyes that @Yarn Cruiser made for the event though. Much better results than the last time I did this in 8th grade.

I love these so much!!! I think we need to do another one. I watched countless tie dye videos. It's amazing what people can do with a good fold and color choices.
