Ice Dye

Ice dyeing is a process that uses ice as a resist to control the distribution of color on fabric. The item is scrunched up, covered in ice, and then covered in powdered dye. As the ice melts in the sun, it allows the dye to absorb into the fabric below in organic patterns. Repeating the process with more ice layers or rinsing the item reveals the dyed patterns created by the melting ice.

Ice dye

• Ice dyeing is any process that uses ice as a resist to control color on
fabric. Ice melts slowly so it allows some fun, organic color
distribution to occur on fabric.
• Stages of ice dyeing:
• Scrunch up your item to be dyed on a small platform (to allow for
drainage).
• Cover it in ice.
• Cover the mound of ice and fabric in powdered dye.
• Allow this to sit outside on a sunny day for a couple of hours (or longer, if
it’s winter and you use snow!). This is so the ice melts into water and
allows the dye to be absorbed by the fabric below.
• After all the ice is melted, you can repeat the process with more ice or
rinse out your dyed item to reveal the patterns.
