I was sitting there like “ I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done tie-dye, but aren’t you supposed to wet the fabric first? Or am I crazy?” 😂😂😂 Poor Nick. 😂💙

Yes! ❤ Wished Nick would have the kept those images up a bit longer but c'est la vie.

… or on location in florida 😂

He's so effortlessly funny

that's not true. if it was wet the colors would all run together.

@@Roy-G-Biv Unless you know what you're doing, it is highly recommended that you work with a damp item. The colors won't run if you properly space things and the bands are there to act as resists. If you don't wet, you need to scour(hot wash) first to remove any sizing(starch, silicone) and other finishing treatments that manufacturers use. Then you can apply direct, but you have to *completely* saturate areas to ensure strong colors and dye adhesion. You also have to pay close attention to transitions between colors, otherwise you'll have stark white section instead the smooth transitions that wet dying affords you.

@@Roy-G-Biv Yes, it is true. Professional tie dyer here. If you have the GOOD dye, then the fabric is soaked in a solutiion of soda ash and water, then wrung out so it is still damp, but not soking wet. Then you tie it and dye it, and let it set so the dye can "fix" to the fabric.

@@Becausing wet and damp are two different things.

@@brockreynolds870 yup. Me too!
