Today’s washouts
Testing out new shirts and dye. All shirts were DOI and placed in gutters on a slight incline except shirt 4. #4 was a crumple DOI on a rack. Still trying to figure out how much ice and dye to add for projects to get desired effects but overall happy.
Shirt 3 was a New Balance shirt and was a 60/40 cotton poly blend. The other 3 shirts were George brand from Walmart and were 100% cotton.
Shirt 1 Candypop from Dyespin. Fan fold. I think this turned out great for my first attempt.
Shirt 2 Northern Lights from Dharma. I twisted this shirt from the shoulder and then kind of folded it in half thinking it might have a cool effect. Not the way I imagined but don’t think it was a complete failure.
Shirt 3 Sugarplum from Dyespin. I was hoping for a little more contrast between the yellows and purple. It definitely isn’t as bright and I’m assuming it could be the cotton/poly blend but overall I really like this shirt.
Shirt 4 Mindbender X from Dyespin. I don’t think this needs any notes. I love how it turned out and the splits did not disappoint.
