About Colors:

We use a commercial-quality, fiber-reactive dye called Procion, which is the same dye used for 99% of all commercially dyed cotton products. . .not the cheap dye you can buy at the grocery or craft store.  We are experienced and very careful with our chemical process, making sure that all the dye reacts and gets "fixed" to the fabric.  Then, just to make sure, we wash our tie-dyes 3 times after the dyeing process (once in cold, twice in very hot water) so that whatever dye is left when you buy it is pretty much there for good!

Like any colored cotton garment, wash in cold or warm water with like colors, and dry promptly.  Of course, washing in cold will keep the colors brighter over time, but we usually wash our own personal tie-dyes in warm.

The one thing you don't want to do is to leave a colored cotton garment soaking wet for an extended period of time!  Some limited bleeding can begin to occur after a while.  If this happens by accident, and you get some bleeding or "back-staining", don't panic!  The dye is almost completely chemically inactive by the time you get the tie-dye.  As long as it doesn't sit there for a day or two in that condition, a good hot wash should remove the "unfixed" back-stains without harming the "fixed" dye.

We start with basic colors of dye like everyone else.  But the process we use to apply it allows us to mix shades in the syringe, "on-the-fly", as the dye is being applied. This offers unlimited color variation, like a painter has when mixing paint colors on his palette.  This infinite variation of hues sometimes presents a difficulty for viewing on computer monitors, as each computer has its own finite set of possible colors, and each monitor has its own color adjustments, such as tone, brightness, and contrast.

We do our very best to accurately represent the colors on each tie-dye.  We take the original image into Photo Shop, and then hold the actual tie-dye up next to our monitor to try to match the colors, brightness, and contrast.  We have no intention of over-enhancing our images to mislead you.  Obviously, this is a touchy and time-consuming process.  Nevertheless, if you receive your Kind Dye and are not satisfied with the colors, no problem!  We have a very generous return policy.
