            Love them!

            The Sunday of Greensky Bluegrass' 2019 Red Rocks run was Tie Dye Sunday in honor of Billy Strings. I'm in one at the left and that's my wife with the tie dye tights. Wifey doesn't afford me too many permissions to wear tie dyes so I was happy to have not only a pass, but a conspirator.  I wish I could remember who made my shirt, but I recall his being a Tennessean.

            Billy and his band all wore them too, but that may have just been business as usual:

            Think it, be it.

              Tie Dye indigo sounds intriguing - or maybe tie bleaching a previously indigo garment…. Personally I like tie die when it's a lot less random - maybe something more akin to batik, but I have seen tie die work that was very structured and it was lovely.

                  That is my favourite one. Wonderful colours, very cosmic.

                    Yep agreed, plus green is probably my favorite color.

                          My coworker and I were inspired to try some ice dyeing after seeing the posts from @adam313.
                          Will report back in a day.

                              Imma try it too! I'll be starting with some cheap tees and then moving into some nice one that got stained. Thanks for the inspiration (move me brightly), @adam313

                                  Pretty happy with the results for our first attempt. Next time I’m going to use discharge paste and or bleach to get some of those cool effects that @adam313 has.

                                    @Palmer Those are righteous results! I'm in love with the fluid dynamics, it's magical every time. Keep in mind that the IH fabric is a different beast. We learned that straight away lol, sometimes the fabric acts like the Frenchman in the castle from Monty Python  😃 "Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!"

                                      Really loving the floral effects on some of those @Palmer. Great work.

                                          Does anyone know if indigo dyeing has been done inside a vaccum chamber? In theory that would help the dye penetrate deeper into the garment threads… A vaccum chamber can be had (or made) for pretty cheap....

                                            If you are rope-dyeing then a vacuum chamber is the last thing you want. If you want deep penetration (vicar) then you need to cone (or cheese) dye….
