Jacquard Procion Mx Ice Dye - (8oz) Spumoni 2301

Jacquard's new Ice Dye colors are formulated to provide the most dramatic and distinct color splits possible. You won't believe the results!! Ice dyeing is one of the easiest and most rewarding dyeing experiences there is, and the process is simple: soak the cotton fabric in a solution of soda ash (2 cups per gallon), then wring it out and tie, fold or scrunch it up, then place it in a colander and cover it in ice or snow, and then sprinkle dye over the ice. Allow the ice to melt overnight in a warm place, and then rinse and wash 24-48 hours later. The ice causes the component colors of the blended dye to "split" and separate, producing an incredible crystalline pattern of many distinct colors, almost like a kaleidoscope. Imagine the folded fabric as a mountain range: the peaks will dye a different color than the valleys, and you'll see a beautiful stratification of different colors in between.
