Okay so they turned out pastel. So if you want the product to be similar to the dye( like KrazyKnotz) use soda ash. If you plan on making them more pastel you can probably get by without soda ash. Unless your kit says you need soda ash. Mine either didn’t say or said you didn’t. Overall I found this very enjoyable and am looking forward to using my new thread.
For thread you can use other colors as long as they're a light color, it will just have a tint of the color that the thread was originally, this is called over dyeing.
@ELKARS Any tie-dye kit is fine. Usually tie-dye kits come with bottles with powder in them, and you just add water to the bottles. Just follow the dye's instructions on how to prepare it. 👍
I highly recommend blow drying if you want your thread to dry quickly. It will take a lot longer if it air dries, but air drying still works too. 🙂
@KrazyKnotz will any tie-dye kit work? also, instead of blow-drying the thread, would it work just to leave them to dry overnight or something? another question, 😂, does the dye need to be diluted before using if it didn't come diluted??
@Hassey The one string is red-yellow-red and and other string is yellow-green-yellow. The kit I used only had 5 colors. The photo for 'Color Combo Tips' shows these two skeins. 😉
