@@RazorbackLopez it’s to remove excess unbonbed dye from the fabric. This is done after the dyes have already fully cured from irrigation with hot concentrated soda ash solution a couple steps earlier. With tie dyes (especially well saturated ones) no matter how well you rinse and how clear the water appears there is almost always excess unbonded dye still clinging to the fabric that will otherwise slowly come out in the wash (or worse bleed onto your customer in a rainstorm or hot sweaty day). Boiling water will release the un bound dye molecules and the dawn will cause them to stay suspended in solution instead of clinging back onto the fabric. I’ve found that even when the water is running totally clear from hand washing and rinsing after boiling the water will be almost black.
@@RazorbackLopez thank you! And certainly. On this one I used braided fishing line for most of the ties but I go over them with sinew where I want either a thicker more defined line or in this case a better barrier between colors to prevent blending and bleeding (like around the eyes and nose for instance). The braided fishing line is Berkley Trilene Big Game Braid 50lb test. But it’s just important that it’s braided fishing line and not mono-line.
Beautiful!

Also, what is the boiling with Dawn soap? I’ve never heard of that, is that how you get such bright colors?

What string are you using, may I ask? Is it sinew? Thanks, and great work!
