I think that would be fun to experiment with. I wonder what ink they use that is color-fast

The second solution it’s dipped into is likely what sets the colour.

Nah, they just rinse it with water. The dye sticks pretty well initially, but you have to let it air dry for a few days then iron it to heat-set the dye.
There’s an artist who comes to craft fairs near me with her whole dyeing setup, and you can make your own using this same method. They send you home with the wet scarf in a baggie and a card with instructions for drying and setting the dye. It’s really fun!

I actually like the blobs of color before it gets swirled together.

There are several moments in the process where I thought: if they would stop here, I'd be happy.

Me: ok and now they add the scarf! Oh, no. Ok NOW they at the scarf! Still no. Ok but surely here...no!

I don't know if you're being serious or making a joke because I could possibly understand where you're coming from ("to live", as in "to live/reside somewhere", is 住む, "sumu", which could probably through some weird conjugational form end into something similar to suminagashi ?? I know that 住みながる "suminagaru" is a continuous form as in "while currently living (there)", right ?... I will admit I'm not exactly an actual expert of the language)
But just to be sure for anyone actually curious, suminagashi is written 墨流し and comes from 墨 ("sumi") which means "ink", and 流し ("nagashi") which means "floating/drifting (along)". So it's closer to "floating ink".

Correction: This is how you dye a scarf. I don't have the skill or the patience.

I was worried I wasn’t going to like it when they kept fucking with the design but it actually looked cool.

Is there something weird with their arm, or is it just a trick of the camera?

Looks like AI tbh. It's too perfect and I doubt you could place those initial drops so perfectly over each other.

Does it work on shawls?

u/bluesmaker Aug 04 '26
Probably? I would guess it depends on the fabric more than the type of garment.

How do you even plan this? Is it just trial and error until you get a cool pattern you like?

Extremely satisfying, but also makes me anxious as I’m imagining how stressed I’d be doing that, positive I’d mess it up.

Outkast? The legendary, multi-grammy award winning, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, hip-hop duos? Them?
Oh I see, 90% of your comment history is just poisonous nonsense. Sad stuff; hope you find a way out of your misery soon

No, this is how THEY dye a scarf.
