Ice Dyeing, Explained.
Ice dyeing is a hands-on, environmentally safe dyeing process that creates unique, one-of-a-kind patterns every single time! Using the natural melting properties of ice, the melting ice and dye mix together to create a tie-dye effect.
Check out the steps below for a sneak peak into R&MW's ice dyeing process!

Step 1:
Clean that fabric! All our fabrics are pre-washed with a fixant to thoroughly clean the fabric and to open the fiber pores, readying the fabric for dye absorption.
Once the fabric has been washed it's placed on a dyeing rack and ready for the next step!

Step 2:
At R&MW we place all our fabrics at random to ensure a 100% unique pattern every time!
Once we're happy with the fabric placement, we pile on a good portion of ice (ice), baby!, and finish off the process by sprinkeling our beautiful chosen dye colours on the ice.
Now, we allow the ice to melt and beautifully blend the colours together. 24 hours later...

Step 3:
...we wash that beautiful piece of fabric and/or garment one more time, hang it to dry and ta-da! A stunning, unique and hand made item created with care & intenion.
