Ice Dyeing

Fabric comes out heavily mottled (with unpredictable mixing of dye colors). Nearly the opposite of aiming for flat or smooth colors.

Start with wet (soda ash soaked) fabric --- arranged as you wish in bins - layers, folded and tied, etc.

Cover with ice (or snow) and sprinkle with strongly mixed fiber reactive dye.
Let sit for hours.
Treat as usual.
