Tie-dye

 

Tie-dye is a textile dyeing technique that involves twisting, folding, and tying fabric to create patterns and designs before applying dyes. The tied fabric is then immersed in dye solutions, resulting in unique and colorful patterns where the dye penetrates the fabric in various ways. The tied areas resist the dye, creating areas of the original fabric color. After dyeing, the fabric is rinsed, untied, and often washed to set the colors. Tie-dyeing can be done using various colors and techniques, such as crumpling, folding, or using rubber bands, to achieve different effects. It's a popular form of DIY art and fashion, often associated with vibrant and psychedelic designs.
