Why are t-shirts pre-treated with sodium carbonate when tye-dying?

T-shirts are pre-treated with sodium carbonate (soda ash) to create an alkaline environment, which helps the dye molecules bond with the fabric fibers during the tie-dyeing process. This pre-treatment improves the color vibrancy and colorfastness of the tie-dye design on the t-shirt.

What is a tie die party?

Tie dye is fun! It is when you take a shirt or other article of clothing and tie it with rubber bands and then dye it by dipping it in different colors for different parts of the shirt. It creates a cool design using colors, kind of like a spiral effect on the shirt. It's best to use a white or other light-colored shirt. Tee-shirts work great. A tie dye party is when someone has a party where everyone brings a shirt to dye, and the entire process of tying and then dying the shirts are done together in a party atmosphere. If it's a kids' party, the adults will usually supervise and help out. If it's an adults' party, everyone will just enjoy getting together to make the cool shirts.
