Fiber-reactive dyes are the gold standard for plant-based textiles. In this session, we will learn how to use fiber reactive dyes, both hot and cold, to create multi-color resist dye patterns on cotton and linen.

• Precision Prep: Master the scouring process to ensure fibers are free of oils and ready to bond with the dye. 

• Alkaline Activation: Practice the use of soda ash and specific pH balancing, along with salt to "fix" the color for maximum wash-fastness.

• Professional Results: Move beyond home tie-dye kits to achieve sophisticated, professional multi-color applications on fabric and yarn.
