Wash your new tie-dye with any other colored clothing. We use the best
materials available to make your new tie-dye-- Procion (TM) Fiber Reactive
Dyes. They make a permanent molecular bond with natural fibers (cotton,
rayon, silk) to become one with the garment. Procion (TM) dyes are the
only dye to use for tie-dye if you want vibrant results that stay bright for
years to come.
No. At least not if you're talking about a Westwind Company tie-dye.
Before the advent of Procion (TM) dyes, tie-dye was often accomplished with
direct or acid dyes. These inferior dyes do not permanently bond with the
fabric, so there are a lot of loose dye particles. Vinegar was used with
these dyes in and attempt to set loose dye particles for a more permanent
result.
Vinegar will not have any positive effect on tie-dyes dyed with Procion
(TM) Fiber Reactive dyes. If someone tells you to wash their work with
vinegar I recommend walking away-- that's what God gave us feet for-- unless
you're in the mood for a huge mess!
Our tie-dyes are pre-shrunk in our process. The garments we use are
of high quality and will not shrink under normal washing and drying
circumstances. However, like ALL 100% cotton garments, subjecting
your clothes to hot water or hot dryers will have an adverse effect on
them. Treat your new tie-dye right, and your new tie-dye will treat you
right. Friendships have always been a two-way-street!

Yes and no. Our live shows are our store. We strive to
present our work to as many different people as possible, and have found
that our tie-dye business fits in perfectly at live music events, art shows, and street
festivals. Check out the Events page!
Also, our internet store gives everyone an opportunity to own a Genuine
Westwind Company Tie-dye.
Usually. Choose your design and colors and give us a call.

There is not an extra charge for this service (don't laugh: some people like
to charge extra for custom orders. lol), but your custom tie-dye may
take a few extra days to ship (we'll need to make it, of course!)
We normally will not dye garments other than those we already offer for
sale.
