The T-Shirts - Back to the Dye Room

Todays task - to dye 30 childs T-shirts pink. Thankfully after dying the capes I knew the shade of dye I needed, so it was a relatively easy, if time consuming task.

I used Kemtex procion dye, with soda ash as a colour fixative to the proportions of 3 tablespoons of soda ash for the Vat replenished every 1 and a half hours, and 6 teaspoons of dye, mixed in a jug, with a portion poured in with every batch of t-shirts.

I have now finished all the dying for this project!

Tasks for the weekend are edging the giant slug cape with Ridgilene, and cutting out the remaining spots from the high viz jackets. I anticipate getting in the range of 20 large spots and 40-60 small spots out of them.
