Marble Dye

2_edited.jpg

Marble dye is named after the marble effect. Another name of this dye is crystal tie dye.

 

Garment gets this unique effect by putting garment into meshnet. The part of garments are exposed to dye stuffs and others are scrunched inside where dyestuff will not be absorbed. The dyestuffs form unique marble shape through this process.

 

The individual worker has to put one garment inside into a mesh net and tie the mesh net with strings tightly. Due to the different strengths of individual workers, there will be wide shade variation and coverage in bulk production.

Preparation for Bulk

1. It is very important to use fabric without softener or hydrophilic softener in the fabric mill. Some softener blocks dyestuffs on the fabric surface and dyestuffs will not be absorbed. Usually, it appears uneven dye effects like dye spot.

 

2. It is also very important to conduct a blanket test before cutting the fabrics. To learn blanket procedures, click here.

 

3. Fabric, style construction, accessory, and graphics are very important in garment wash and dye.

For the cost, the garment weight is important because the recipe is based on O.W.G. (on the weight of goods).

 

4. If there’s a zipper, you must wrap the zipper with the same fabric. If you wrap zipper, there will be some undyed area, which needs tolerance for garment dyeing & washing.

 

5. It is easy to get needle hole issue especially fabric is too thin. To learn more about the needle hole issue, click here.

6. Marble dye requires a wide Shadeband for bulk production. Individual workers put garment into mesh net and dye coverage vary by the strength of workers.
