It is traditional art and cra# used by our grandparents as an artistic product. Nowadays, a majority of tie-dyes are produced with natural & Azo free chemical dyes. Even everyday used household items such as beetroot juice, nettle, turmeric, co$ee/tea etc can do the trick for coloring. In order to raise the pH level and start the reaction, soda ash and salt are added directly to the dye because it allows the colors to stain the fabric easily and stay brighter for a long period of time. Depending on the thickness and type of fabrics any piece of clothing can be tie-dyed easily. "e most popular tie-dye textiles are bed sheets, cushion covers, dresses, t-shirts, shawls, kitchen dinning fabrics, accessories etc. Aesthetically pleasing and easy to make tie-dyes are a form of artistic expression which showcases a sense of free spirit and love for peace. Tie-dyed products have intricate details and embellishments which transform even a boring, plain garment into a colorful explosion of fascinating motifs and designs.
