Meet the Maker
Welcome to Old Goat Tie Dye!
My name is Patricia and I offer handmade one of a kind tie dye items.
I started making tie dye in the early 2000's under the name Lake Tye Dye. It all started with a tie dye kit and a few baby bodysuits and it soon became an obsession with color. Not only do I make tie dye using traditional liquid dyes I also now make a majority of my tie dyes using ice. Yes, you read that right...ICE.
Why did I choose the name Old Goat Tie Dye?
Well, it's because I love goats & I make tie dye...and this "old goat" isn't getting any younger.
How it’s Made
Would you believe that this tie dye was made using ice? Yes, ICE! It's a really cool process (oh, how punny!) that involves tying up the item, placing dye powder directly on the item, then ice is carefully placed on top. The ice slowly melts and pushes the dye into the fabric. The whole process takes at least twenty-four hours and can take up to a week for more complex designs.

Quality of my hand dyed items...
I am 100 percent confident that you will love your new item.
Each item is dyed using professional Fiber Reactive dyes which chemically bond to the fibers of the garment instead of simply staining it as other less expensive types of dyes can do.
With proper care your dyed item will last years with no fading.
Each item is inspected for damage and if any problems are found they are noted in the description and the prices are adjusted accordingly, if necessary.
Please keep in mind the garments that I sell are not sewn by me, however, they ARE hand-dyed by me.
............................................
Washing and Care Instructions...
After the dye process my items are thoroughly rinsed by hand and are then put through at least two full HOT wash cycles to remove excess dye. Please keep in mind that although my items have been thoroughly laundered you will still need to wash with LIKE colors. Upon receiving your new tie dye, be sure to launder the item before wearing, especially those meant for babies, with your usual detergent except those noted below. I have not used fabric softeners or dryer sheets after laundering, however, the textile detergent that I use leaves a slight floral scent.
For the best results (COTTON):
+ In cold or warm water, wash inside out with like-colors and your usual laundry detergent but do NOT use OXICLEAN or similar OXI detergents as they may slightly alter the colors.
+ Do NOT bleach.
+ Tumble dry low. (Unless noted within the product description; some items require line-dry to avoid further shrinking or damage.)
+ Items with Iron-On or Patches...line dry or tumble dry low (inside out)...press with a low heat iron with garment inside-out.
For the best results (RAYON & MODAL):
+ In cold or warm water, hand wash OR wash in a machine on Delicate. When washing in a machine, it is best to wash your rayon item in a laundry bag to prevent the machine from damaging the fibers. Rayon is delicate when wet. Do not wring or stretch.
+ Do NOT bleach. Do not use "oxy" products as noted above (in cotton section) as these detergents may alter the colors.
+ Best to line dry. Hang in such a way as to prevent overly stretching the material. You can also tumble dry on the "air" setting or the very lowest setting. Must be tumbled alone, however, tumbling with dry fluffy towels helps speed the process.
Treat your new tie dye with gentle care and it will be around for years to come! :-)
PEACE & LOVE!!!
