Description

What is it? Ice tie dyed Non Binary coloured hearts and Galaxy pattern 100% cotton T-shirt available in adult and children sizes. Size and T-shirt specifications are shown in the photos. How is it created? Item Preparation The first and most important step is that the clothing to be dyed needs to be washed on a 30 degree cycle. All clothing comes with a sizing chemical that repels the dye so this is required to ensure the item retains the dye colour. Once washed it is then soaked in soda ash for around 15 minutes which aids the dye to bond with the Cotton fibres. The final step in prepping the clothing is to then put it on a spin cycle to ring out the excess water from the previous two steps. The clothing is now ready to be tied & dyed. Tie Technique This item was tied in a standard tie dye method. To create this pattern the item is folded in half where half of the design is drawn in the centre with washable markers to provide a clear outline of the design. Then it is folded along the lines from start to finish of the design then tightly tied with elastic bands. The remainder of the item is then scrunched together and tied in sections using elastic bands. Dye Technique For this item we use a technique known as ice dying. This requires the item to be placed on a rack where the dye colour is sprinkled on the item to the required sections. Ice is then placed on top of the dye and left for 24 hours where the ice melts and drips the dye colour over the item. Afterwards the clothing is rinsed out in the sink then re-washed on another 30 degree cycle to remove any excess dye. All dyes used on our products are Vegan. Our unique design by VeEco Gifts are custom hand-made to order so no 2 garments will be identical. Due to the nature of tie dye, patterns/colours may vary. Customisable All our items can be fully customised to your chosen colours if you wish to opt to a different colour scheme than that shown in the photo. For this item a selection of blue and purple dye was used for the background colour. For the hearts, these are coloured in the non binary flag colours Bright Yellow, White, Grape and New Black. Our available colours are shown in the photos, for any amendments please note in the personalisation box. Otherwise we will assume you wish the item to be created in the colours as shown in the photos. Care instructions Machine washable - Wash at 30° separately for the first few washes to ensure any loose dye does not leak onto other clothes.
