Tie Dye is a process of resist dyeing clothing which is made from knit or woven fabrics, usually cotton. When we think of tie dye and where it might have originated, the first image that often comes to mind is the freewheeling hippie lifestyle of the 1960′s. Today, many of us who wear tie dye feel some connection with that peace-loving hippie spirit! Many are surprised to learn that the history of tie dye actually began long before those free-loving, music-grooving era days. The earliest mentions of tie dye in historical records were in ancient Japan and China. Tie dye gained popularity in the United States during the Great Depression, it was considered an economical way to add new color to old materials. Pamphlets were handed out describing how to tie dye and use old cotton, flour, coffee, and sugar sacks to create new clothing and home decorations.
The best shirt to use when tie dying is a 100% cotton t-shirt. However, a 50% cotton and 50% polyester shirt can be used. If the latter chosen though the color will not be as vibrant. In the past I have tried to dye a shirt that was 100% polyester. After I dyed and unwrapped the shirt all the dye washed off. As it turns out the dyes only bond well on natural fabrics such as cotton, silk, and rayon.
Once the garment is chosen it is time to purchase the dye. Dye kits can very easily be purchased in craft stores, such as Hobby Lobby and Michaels, and will include everything you need. Inside of the kit there will be rubber gloves, rubber bands, soda ash, urea, and easy to follow instructions. The dyes will come in squeeze bottles separately if they are not already available. Out of all the dyes the best one to use is Progon dyes because they are the brightest.

Now for the moment every tie dyer waits for, It is time for the unveiling. With rubber gloves, take the shirt out of the zip lock bag. There are two options for rinsing the t-shirt. The first is to take the rubber bands off the shirt, unwrap the shirt, and begin ringing the shirt in the sink under cold water. The other option is to rinse the shirt first, remove the rubber bands, and then unwrap. As a warning, the water will turn black as a result from the mixture of the dyes. It is impossible for all of the dye to bond with the shirt, but enough of the dye will remain. Continue rinsing the shirt until the water runs clear. If done right the pattern will be revealed. The last step is to wash the shirt in the washing machine.

Some of the dyes used by Native Americans of the Missouri River region are discussed below. Far more plants were used for medicines, shelter, and tools than dyes. Various green dyes came from pond scum probably Protococcus, Ulothrix, Chaetophora, and Spirogyra. Another green dye that was used for bows and arrows came from lamb's quarter, Chenopodium album. Yellow dyes came from a variety of places including smooth sumac, Rhus glabra, roots, the lichens Parmelia borreri and Usnea barbata, and young cottonwood (Populus sargentii) leaf buds collected in early spring; this particular yellow dye was used for coloring arrow feathers and quills. An orange dye also used as a feather dye was boiled out of the vines of dodder (Cuscuta paradoxa). Red dyes came from pokeberry (Phytolacca americana) and were used to paint horses and people. The familiar bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) was also used as a skin dye or to dye articles that were boiled with the roots.

In conclusion, clothing is used for multiple reasons in the novel. Hester uses it as a form of rebellion, it is her way to express her feelings through garments. In addition, it is her way of rebelling against Puritan society, by dressing Pearl in colors much not the norm to the society. In addition, clothing is also used to reflect character and situation in the novel. The clothes worn by Chillingworth and by the witch foreshadow their character. Colors of clothing are also important. The use of bright colors, such as crimson, and gold conveys how dissimilar Hester and Pearl are viewed by the Puritan society, which generally dresses in plain, emotionless colors.

But, for several years, Mr. Lauren had harbored the nation that the time was right for a new look. And so, he pioneered the wide tie-a four-inch tie made from opulent materials and fabrications that were unheard of in the business. Polo ties soon became the status tie. And Ralph Lauren became the menswear design to watch, as his ties revolutionized the industry.

According to the The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, a dye is a “synthetic or natural coloring used to color various materials.” Today, many dyes are used in foods all around the world. As of January 2014, the United States Food and Drug Administration certifies nine different dyes-Blue 1, 2; Green 3; Red 3, 5, 6, 40; Yellow 5 and 6 (Beil). Blue dyes are usually found in ice creams, blueberry-flavored foods, and baked goods. Red dyes are often in candies, cookies, and chips. Cheeses and buttered treats contain yellow dyes while green dyes are not as common in food products but are in fruit-flavored candies. Natural colored foods could be strawberries or ketchup. Even though artificial colorings are allowed, the amount used in foods is limited. European countries have conducted research and banned all dyes from being added to their foods. These countries believe dyes pose as a health threat. Some citizens from the United States have said dyes are not necessary in foods and others wish that dyes will still be used in their favorite foods. However you look at it, dyes being used in foods is a very controversial health problem today.
Chemistry is also beneficial in studying the chemical construction of hair dye and therefore learning how and why it works. The first safe commercial hair color was created in 1909 by French chemist Eugene Schuller, using the chemical paraphenylenediamine.

Throughout my high school career I dyed a countless amounts of t-shirts. Whenever a tye dye themed football game would roll around, my friends and I would always tye dye a bunch of old t-shirts in my backyard. Whether you are tye dying for a themed football game or party, tye dying t-shirts is always fun and inexpensive activity. In my experience of dying t-shirts, I have run into just about every problem imaginable. For instance, one time I tried to tye dye a polyester t-shirt and all the dye came off the shirt.

A projection of a knot or link is tricolorable if each strand can be coloured one of three different colours, at least two colours must be used and at each crossing, the three incident strands are either all different colours or all the same colour.
