Message: You have a delightful site. I have enjoyed it so much. My question is "strange", does anyone tie-dye sweat shirts?? Or is it the wrong time of the year? I have not been able to find a word about sweat shirts anywhere on the www.

That's not a strange idea at all. I've dyed several sweatshirts. The key points are to 1, get a 100% cotton sweatshirt to dye; 2, use fiber reactive dye, such as Procion MX type dye, never all-purpose dye; and 3, prepare more dye mixture for a sweatshirt than for a t-shirt, because it is much heavier and more absorbant.

You can buy white 100% cotton sweatshirts from Dharma Trading Company and Cheapestees, among others; see my page of contact info for sellers of supplies for dyeing. 90% cotton will also dye quite well. 50% polyester will produce pastels, and 100% polyester will not dye at all.
