l am a liquid dyer and always spend so much time making sure there is not excessive white. i am going to do this right now. i have been dying 6 years and i am 80 years old now.
Total game changer! I'm in the process of trying different folds and patterns with 11 tshirts. But I ran across your channel and watched you do the HWI. Your excitement and passion at how yours turned out really got me into a creative frenzy! So now I'm going to try this on all the patterns I'm folding now. And if mine come out this amazing, I will never tye dye the old way again! Thank you so much for this eye opener!!!!
Long time Hippy first time tie dyer. I just started getting into it. I've done a few shirts and was wondering if HWI really worked. I loved your video. I've watched a ton of videos by many people but I love your spirit. Thanks for the time and work and thanks for just being a real person. 🥰
Hello friend! I LOVE HWI!!! i cant donit enough. i just got two new colors, gonna try and put up a video this weekend!! Thank you so much for your kind words. Keep after it, it is so much fun:) post your work on my facebook. i do a post every wednesday wanting to see what everyone is working on :)
I ❤ that, I'll have to try it! I used to have an old microwave that I would put my pieces in after I dyed them if I wanted them done faster. It seemed to work too.
Thank you! I've been wondering why people bye all the fancy equipment to hwi and if I needed to do the same. I was hoping I could do it with my tea kettle. Now I know I can try it and expect it to work.❤
You are so welcome! I always start with what I have on hand. i mean what if i dont like and now i have all this fancy equipment!! Thanks for hanging out!!
Thanks for speeding up my day...I was gonna do basically same experiments today with hwi and liquid vs powder! Glad I found you..Thank you for the info!! ❤🤗 btw I get excited and scream too when I reaveal 😃
I think the HWI method has created a tie dye monster, in a good way. haha I haven't tried HWI yet, but after watching your video, I really want to. I usually just ice day.
@@TishTV Today was my very first tie dye experience. I was going to try HWI but by the time I wrestled with three shirts I just threw in plastic ziploc bags. I will try this someday though. Thanks for sharing your talent.❤
An easy way to do this is to mix ash and dye together - much more ash than dye and it will depend on color or amount. It spreads VERY easy this way and you use less dye! You can use a garden sprayer to mist the shirts rather than pour and it will disturb the dye placement less. Try putting a little dye in something like a plastic jar, crushing a shirt into it TIGHT, add maybe a little on top, then adding hot water with ash on top. You can get some pretty crazy patterns as some dye bonds better than other depending on location. Lots to play with! Also, you can microwave wet shirts to heat them too for different effects...
woohoo!!! Thanks for all of the tips!! I have microwaved silk before, it was beautiful! Im gonna try these, I cant wait to try dying in a container, that is how my friend does her fabric. Thank you so much for hanging out and taking time to comment with all of this great information!!❤️❤️
Total cutieness all around and so very helpful. Got my hwi pump yesterday and am too nervous to use up all my powder. i was hoping to find confirmatin that i could use my liquid and i did! You rock!
there is hot water immersion, i did a video on that as well. that is where you put the garment in a conatiner with dye powder and soda ash and pour hot water in the conatiner and let it sit til it cools. i like your idea of dunking in hot water, how will you keep the dye powder on the garment if you dunk it? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!!!
These came out really nice. I have done the HWI with liquid dye but I was thinking about it and here you have these beautiful results! I dye in my kitchen and I like the pouring the hot water over better than the sprayer as it splatters! I’ve tried it with the SA in the dry dye and I find the colors are not very vibrant. Great results! And love your excitement!
Same with the sprayer! I feel like I have more control witg my kettle. I am in love with HWI, both liquid and dry, and cant wait to do more!! Thank you so much for watching my videos and for taking time to comment!!! ☮️❤️🙂🌈
@@iknowheis Oh! I have never had that happen. I just use my electric kettle, it cuts off when it starts to boilc so it is at or about the 212 degree mark
I have been pondering what method to do on some fabric for curtains in my sun room. I love the look of the scrunch and I think I might try it with earth tones. The worst thing that might happen is that I decide to sew something g else with it and have to do it again!
This was 10 months ago and I would like to know more about the liquid dye one. Have you found that it gets perfectly saturated just doing the top at times? It looked like it was when you turned it over on the little one but not on the big one but not sure. Love, love, love your videos. ❤❤❤
welcome back!! Yes if the garment is small and not too bulky one sode is plenty. I rarely do both sides, unless it is a really bulky item like a blanket. I do one side and am very liberal with the hot water. When i only do one side it really saturates the color so it has vibrant patches and very subtle patches. I hope this helps!!
Yes. they are soaked in soda sah water solution and then spun out in the washing machine until damp. The damp material helps to accept the dye! Thanks for asking and hanging out!!!
When you're a tie dyer by profession i think HWI really helps when you want to deliver in a jiffy and also the vibrancy was at its peak not to mention the volume of water you will consume. But will this method work if you use different colors on the other side of the t-shirt?
@@bggines_1260 Yes it is a lot of water, im working on a recycling system to recycle the water, espically the rinsing. you can do both sides, just dont go heavy with the powder. ill do a video and show the process!!!
You let it set till cool. Anywhere from about two hours on should be ok. Just keep touching it till it is cool!! 5 hours is plenty of time!! Post your designs on my social media!! I wanna see!
@@TishTV I will do that when i try to do it most likely wont be as good as yours though . Thanks for answering my question to . Kind regards sharon . 💜💖💛💚
Hi there! Thoroughly enjoyed your video! My shirts ended up fading hard, did I pour the water too fast? Should I soak them in soda ash prior and then sprinkle to boost before pouring? >_< regardless, you rock!

How can you not get excited!! Its so much fun!!!! Pahahahhhah
That is fantastic! I couldn't believe it, so I tried it. It turned out wonderfully! Thank you!
Isnt itnso much fun!!

@@TishTV Ooh! Do you shoot for a particular temperature? I was pouring hot water on mine and the rubber bands blew up. Too hot, I guess!
@@iknowheis Oh! I have never had that happen. I just use my electric kettle, it cuts off when it starts to boilc so it is at or about the 212 degree mark
Thanks for your experience! I've got to try now.
Thanks for hanging out!!
I did and like it for quick results. Miss some of the color splits.
I have been pondering what method to do on some fabric for curtains in my sun room. I love the look of the scrunch and I think I might try it with earth tones. The worst thing that might happen is that I decide to sew something g else with it and have to do it again!
I like how you think!! I bet it will look amazing!!
So do you not have to batch the shirt for 24 hrs after you use the hot water?
Nope! Rhat is the beauy of it. you can wash it out in a few hours!
Thinking about it today and I wonder what a reverse dye hwi would turn out like. Reverse dye first then hwi with color.
It is stunning!! I have done it on a dress. DO IT!!!!
@@TishTV hi, after you reversed it, did you soak in sa for 30 min before adding powder or liquid dye and hwi process?
@@TFJ70 reverse it, neitralize it, wash it, soak it, dye it!
This was 10 months ago and I would like to know more about the liquid dye one. Have you found that it gets perfectly saturated just doing the top at times?

Hello I'm going to try this method out
Yay!! Cant wait to see what you do!
Were the shirts damp before you scrunch and also the spiral t-shirt?
Yes. they are soaked in soda sah water solution and then spun out in the washing machine until damp. The damp material helps to accept the dye! Thanks for asking and hanging out!!!

Outstanding!!!🙌🏻
It was so much fun! i am doing more on Friday!
You are so cool. How about steam? Have you ever tried steaming them?
Squee! Thank you! I havent thought if steam, now I am intrigued……how can i get a generous amount of steam directed to the tie dye… hrm…….
Add the soda ash to the hot water and then apply to the article being dyed.
Will give it a try❤️
I use this method all the time and I have never done the back side it always soaks through just fine the first time.
That is great information! I cant wait to experiment with both!
Can you use salt n vinegar?
I use the natural fiber procion dyes by dharma trading and no salt or vinegar is needed!!
Hi Tish , how long did you let them sit , is it only 5 hours yiu said right ? Is that right ? It looked fantastic . Kind regards sharon .
You let it set till cool. Anywhere from about two hours on should be ok. Just keep touching it till it is cool!! 5 hours is plenty of time!! Post your designs on my social media!! I wanna see!

Then I proceeded to burn tf out of my hand 😂😂
OH NO! (i have done the same thing)
Hi there! Thoroughly enjoyed your video! My shirts ended up fading hard, did I pour the water too fast? Should I soak them in soda ash prior and then sprinkle to boost before pouring? >_< regardless, you rock!
Thank you! yes i would recommend that you soak them prior to the pour. Get them threads thirsty!! Did ypu use 100% cotton shirt? Keep tie dying!!!
@@TishTV Ahoyyyyyyyyy =D Yes they are 100% cotton. I did not soak them at all before >_
@@mynamemeanspeace Hello back from NC!!!
I totally get it, but 400 tc is hard to reach when purchasing unknown 100% cotton.
depending on how you shop, some places will let you but a small sample at a discount so you know what are are getting!!!
Addiction
Yes it is!
oh yes i see you do flip them
Lady! You are a HOOT@
HA! Thank you! I like to have fun :)
Too bad it takes a ton more dye. Cause I love it
You should try it!! You dont have to go as heavy as I did, do it ypur own way!!!
