Victorian Rose
$4.25
For the traditional reactive dyeing process you will need dye powder, soda ash, urea (opt.), fabric detergent (opt.), dust mask, gloves, and safety glasses. Dye Mixing: For the color swatch, we used 1 tsp Victorian Rose dye powder to 1/2 cup warm water with 1/2 tsp urea. You can use less dye powder to get a lighter hue or more dye powder for a darker hue. Use your own reactive dye procedure or one of the dyeing procedures from the link below. Happy dyeing!

If you are using an ice dye process, the results can vary greatly. The swatch image is to give you only a general idea.
More Dye Info: We spend a lot of time finding the top quality suppliers for our dyes. Most of our dyes are purchased from overseas. We take the dye and create our own colors which requires a complex method and manual process. This allows us to be consistent with the dye colors. We have dye shipments coming in every month, so you are always receiving fresh dyes.
We really make an effort to pack things well and to secure all of the jars to help prevent any accidental dye spills while being shipped. There's nothing like opening your package and finding a box of spilled dye powder.
We would love to ship your orders the same day; but we know the importance of taking the time to get the correct dyes to you in the best condition. So, we normally ship in 3-5 business days depending on the volume of orders we have at the time. Also, we keep our shipping rates as low as possible. Always feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the dyes.

I swear, this color is one of tie dye's best kept secrets. It is criminally underrated--I never hear anyone talk about it, and I hope to change that. I think this dye could easily belong in the Dark Horse collection.
This is an incredibly nuanced color. A heavy hand will get you a dark and "sultry" (not to be confused with my new favorite red) hue, like the ice swatch in the listing. But take your foot off the gas a bit, and this dye really opens up. Not only do you get many, many shades of pink and red, but the lightest sections will take on a cream, bone-white, or subtle gray color. But the pièce de résistance, the most elusive (but most rewarding) split is...a delicate green, reminiscent of a rose stem. As an ice dyer, having such a wide range of color in one dye is what you want, and this delivers the goods.
While the color easily lends itself to a feminine vibe, it also can be intense. If you roll it, the light sections can literally look like ribs, the dark sections like flesh. Or, you can step on the gas and make it dark and brooding. I have yet to go pastel with it, and I cannot wait.
I do tie dye to make a living, and customers consistently love this color. At markets, shirts with this color draw people where other colors won't.
You need this dye. You will love it, your customers will love it, and you'll be supporting an amazing company in the process.
I love this color!
