Tie Dye Washcloth Crochet Pattern

Before we crochet the Tie Dye Washcloth, 
I want to tell you how I Tie Dyed my Yarn.

I Purchased a 
Tie dye Kit from
 Walmart.

And 

 100% Cotton Yarn.

 You can also

 use Wool, 

 Acrylic 

will 

not

 work

I rolled it out in about 2 oz portions.

 I did not measure it.

 I weighted it on 

my postal scale.

 I folded it half,

and  banded

 it in several places.

Next, I soaked the 

portions in warm water with

 a few table spoons

 of pure baking soda

for about 30 minutes.
Baking Soda helps the 
cotton absorb the dye.

While it was soaking, 

I made the Tie Dyes 

according to the directions

 on the package.

I had a plastic table

 cloth down, 

but I also put paper towels

 to help clean 

up the mess.

I applied the dye to each banded section, 

top and bottom, till the yarn was fully saturated.

I gently slid the portions

 in to plastic bags, 

and set them out in the

 sun for 6 to 8 hours.

I made 4 - A Red, White and Blue,

A Green, White and Red,

                                                     And 2 Rainbows.

I then rinsed

them in cold water

 with few

 tables spoons of

 white vinegar.
The vinegar helps set the colors.

 then I rinse them again 

with warm water,

      until the water ran clear.

I wrung them out,

 removed the bands, 

and wrung them again. 

And Hung them

 out to dry.

You can hang them
 in a window,
 if the sun is not shining.

Once They were completely dry I wound them

 into neat and tidy cakes.

It was easy, and fun, but a long process.

I love the results and have plans to make more.
