These shirts are going to be the last ones until after that, mostly because I need to get them all labeled and priced, but partly because I'm pretty much out of soda ash, which fixes the dye to the fabric...

| low immersion dyeing |
Most of the shirts have been tub dyed in groups of 6-10, but I only had four this time, and with the shortage of soda ash, I went this route. You use 1/5 the amount of soda ash, as well as much less dye because of the small volume of water.
The trade off is that you get uneven dyeing, but I never stir my tubs as much as I should, and I always get uneven dyeing. I prefer the look really, because it doesn't look like anything else I've seen around. However, this takes that handdyed mottled look to the extreme.
I'll post the final products in a day or two.
