I recently noticed some strange blue splotches that showed up on two of my favorite pieces of clothing, a white cardigan and a yellow linen shirt. The stains appeared around the shoulders and I have absolutely no idea how they got there! Rather than toss them or let them sit in the back of my closet, I decided to try ice dyeing.
I prepped the fabric with soda ash to help lock in the colors then sprinkled regular tye dye powder and extra soda ash on top. I figured, why not lean into the chaos and see what happens?
I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. What started as a frustrating mystery ended up being a super satisfying experiment. Has anyone else tried ice dyeing before? I’d love to hear your tips or see your projects!
They turned out awesome!! I have a tshirt that picked up some pesky stains, that I was thinking of doing the same with I hope I get as good results as you!
How fun is this?! Ice dyeing is perfect for summer. Your results are fantastic! I have tried it but my end pieces were definitely not as spectacular as these.
