Ice Dyeing Procion Dye Color Combinations and Unboxing Video

Procion dyes are fiber reactive dyes that are very vivid and you can get beautiful saturation.  You can use them for tie dye and ice dyeing.  I think it's really fun to play with color combinations and I especially love the neutral colors.

indigo tie dye easy pattern- pole wrapped fabric dyeing

Pole Wrap Shibori- Arashi Variation

This pattern is really fun and very organic.  This is a take on Arashi Shibori.  Usually Arashi is a lot more neat and tidy, but I went with a more imperfect wrap.  This pattern reminds me of a geode or agate.

Itajime Shibori Tutorial- Equilateral Triangle

This is one of my favorite patterns hands down! It's modern and geometric.  You can make it more white or more blue depending on the size of the fold.  I did this one with mostly white- I think it looks very understated and delicate.  Click for Supply List.
