The Procion Dyes were applied to the tied-up shirt and then a strong soda ash solution was applied after the dye was applied. It was then \"batched\" as normal for 48 hours before washout. This one has a glow in the dark HTV Dave's Dyes ambigram logo ironed on to the hem of the bottom. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Wash with like colors in cold water for first few washes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*As I was tying up this batch I was seeing a lot of \"The Wave\" design being posted. I decided I would to try to take a guess at how it was done. Literally the day after I finished tying this batch, a tutorial for The Wave got posted. So I was pretty close. The only things I did different was that I didn't do the flip and roll from the other side. I just did one continuous roll from the shoulder. That's probably why the dye is a bit lighter on the shoulder area. It took a lot to get that dye through all those layers of fabric. Multiple coats and squeezing that dye in there. I also tied it a little different. Instead of single, spaced angle ties, I tied it mandala\/honeycomb style. Not too bad for an educated guess. I tied up 5 this way in this batch. I dropped the first 3 over the weekend. The 4th was a dud because I made the mistake of using a dye color that is very poor at saturating the fabric and this is a very hard design to get the dye to saturate. So, this is #5. This one and the UV Reactive one I posted earlier (#3) came out the best. I'll try my hand at the other way next batch 8\/6\/26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelow are the advertised measurements for the standard Gildan Ultra Cotton T-Shirts.
