TYE & DYE step by step guide with dyeing procedure.

Tye&dye: Tie & Die is one of the most widely accepted and one ot the very Traditional textile inIndia. Tie & dye is a method of dyeing clothing or fabricOriginally popularized by the members of the hippie subculture clothes are dyed either by submerging them or by squirting dye solution on to them.the part where the fabric is tied into folds prevents the dye from entering theInner parts of the same creating a pattern this known as the resist techniqueTie and dye is mostly done on cottons, chiffons and silk.

Cotton is chosen for the tie and dye since cotton remains the most Miraculous fiber, under the sum even after 8000year, no other fiber comes close To duplicating all of the desirable characteristics combined in cotton the fiber Of thousand faces and almost as many uses, cotton is noted for its versatility appearance, performance above all its natural comfort.

Dyes used were natural dyes until the end of 19th century when the synthetic dyes took over natural dyes generally require a mordant, which are Metallic salt aluminum, iron, chromium, copper and others for ensuring the reasonable fitness of color to sun light and washing natural dyes are considered Eco-friendly.

Napthol class of dyes used is fascinating tow different types of chemicals are mixed in the fiber the diaza salt and the napthol the specific combination of this short of dye is that contrasting colors may be placed adjacent to each other of fabric without color bleeding from one to the

Here are steps for tie and dye with Napthol dyes

STEP1:The materialis scoured and all impurites are removed

Method for removing impurities:Scouring fabric in washing machine: Time: One washer & dryer cycle.

Use one tablespoon Synthropol and (optional) ½ teaspoon of soda ash per 1-2 yards of fabric.
Open up the fabric fully to make sure the soap can completely penetrate it. This soap removes any sizing or finishes in the fabric that will inhibit the dyes. Hot water (140 degrees F) apparently works best, though cold water is fine too.

STEP2: Tying the fabric-here are some basic steps for tying furture u can explore and experiment and can try diffrent ways of tying to creat differnt effects.

Tying:Tie marbles, buttons or stones into the fabric at random, binding tightly with string or elastic bands.

Stripes:Fold the material into concertina pleats to form a thin strip and bind tightly at intervals with string or elastic bands.

Marbling:Crush the material and bind tightly with string, gradually gathering the material into a tight ball.

circle:Pinch the centre of your fabric and pull into a cone shape. Use string or rubber bands to tightly tie the fabric at intervals, starting at the point

STEP 3: The wetting of the material is done

Wetting: turkey red oil monopole brilliant oil etc. are used as wetting agents to obtain a smooth paste of the dyestuff without formation of any lumps which if allowed to remain get deposited, wetting agent are used to facilitate wetting of the dyestuff and its subsequent dissolution ,wetting agent is not normally required.

STEP 4: Dyint procedure by Naphthal dyes

Napthol dyes are applied by means of 2 baths. The first bath consists of the NAPTHO SLOUTION

Which impregnates the cloth with the DIAZO SOLUTION in the second bath?

Weight of the material: 200grms.

NAPTHOL BATH:

YELLOW COLOR-1ST COLOR

a) 20GRMS OF napthol-napthol ASG

b) 10-15ML of turkey red oil

c) 20grms of caustic soda

DIAZO BATH

a) Dye stuff-yellow GC

b) hydrochloric acid-20ml

c) Sodium acetate-20grams

d) sodium nitrate-10grams

Napthol bath

MAROON COLOR-2ND COLOR

a) 20grams of naptholASG

b) 10-15ML of turkey red oil

c) 20grms of caustic soda

DIAZO BATH

a) Dye stuff-RED B BASE 20Agrams

b) hydrochloric acid-20ml

c) Sodium acetate-20grams

d) sodium nitrate-10grams

STEP 5:NAPTHOL BATH procedure :

a) Paste 20gms napthol with trukey red oil

b) add1/4-1/2liter water (boiling) to the paste and mix well

c) Add 20grms fo caustic soda flakes to the same and mix well

d) Add about 15-20grams water to a broad tub and introduce the prepared napthol and mix well.

e) Place the fabric into the napthol bath; agitate gently to ensure even penetration of napthol.

f) Repeat the same for 25to 30min.

STEP 6:DIAZO BATH

a) Yellow dye stuff of 20grams is pasted with sufficient water.

b) HCL of 20ml is added to the same and mixed well.

c) 20grams of sodium acetate is added to the mixture and mixed well.

d) After adding 1/2-1liter of water to the same 10grams of sodium nitrate is added well

e) 15-20liters of the water is filled into the tub, introducing the diazo misture into the tub and mix well

f) The cloth is placed in the tub and agitated well for penetration of dye; continue the same for 25-30min.

STEP 7:Repeat the same with napthol ASG and the diazo bath for maroon B base to obtain second color after resisting the first part of fabric(after dyeing in yellow color tie the area where u don want maroon means u want it to be remain the yellow then repeat the steps.)

STEP 8: Remove the fabric from dyebath then leav it for drying in shad.
