Thinking the kit maybe the best option to start Name: Michelle Country or region: South Australia Message: What an amazing, detailed and informative website....thank you! I'm a mother of three girls, never tie dyed however eager and willing to give it a go for christmas gifts this year. Feeling a lot more confident having looked at your website. Thinking the kit maybe the best option to start. A tie-dyeing kit is a great way to start. Just be sure not to buy the Rit brand tie-dyeing kit, if that is even available in your area, since it contains the wrong kind of dye for easy multicolor tie-dyeing. All of the other brands of tie-dyeing kits I've seen have been pretty good. When you buy clothes to dye, make sure that they are 100% cotton (or viscose rayon or hemp, or other plant fiber, or 100% silk), and that they are not labeled as being stain-resistant or water-resistant. Prewash everything before you dye it. Given that, you almost can't go wrong, as long as you follow the instructions. Although you will get better at tie-dyeing with practice, even your first efforts will be worthwhile. (Please help support this web site. Thank you.)
