39.Pre-Wash• Removes sizing and all other fabric finishes• Prepares fabric for dyeing
40.Binding• Be creative and consider applying more than one technique to yourpiece.• Arashi – bring your own PVC pipe• Itajime – bring your own wood/plastic shapes and clamp• Batik using dye resist – bring your own bottle
41.Soda Ash WashSoda ash changes the pH of the fiber-reactive dye and cellulose fiber sothat the dye reacts with the fiber, making a permanent connection thatholds the dye to the fiber.It actually activates the fiber molecules so that they can chemicallyattack the dye.
42.DyeWe will be using Tulip brand dye. Colorsare limited, so if you want a specific one,please buy your own dye refill like thisone.
43.Swatch Techniques• Natural dye (tea)• Rust dye• Batik• Mokume• Itajime• Discharging color
