Description
Fixing salt to keep colours bright when rejuvenating old clothes. Tie-dye also known as batik is an old dyeing technique that was popular in the 60s and 70s.
But now the mottled look has made a comeback – and it’s a hit with children young people and adults alike. With tie-dye patterns and colours are given free rein on old clothes – and this is perfectly in keeping with the sustainability trend.
Old T-shirts tea towels and pillowcases can suddenly be given a completely new look. In this way tie-dye is an important technique in upcycling – because it's all about adding new value to old things.
If you want to get started with tie-dye or baik it requires next-to-no preparation. All you need is a bucket liquid batik dye and fixing salt.
Once you have these items you can immediately start turning your old clothes into colourful delights. Fixing salt is used in your dyeing projects to prevent the dye from rubbing off in the wash.
You can use the salt in a dye bath or directly in the washing machine. To make the dye bath dissolve 1kg of fine table salt with 2 litres of warm water.
Add another 4Litres of water (30–60 degrees) 100ml of liquid batik dye and 200grams of fixing salt – stir and the dye bath is ready. Now place the cotton textiles in the dye bath – and keep rinsing them in several rounds of water until the water runs clear.
Finally wash in a washing machine at 30–60 degrees.
