How to make it
Wear a mask and gloves with dye powder and soda ash, and keep the spoons out of the kitchen after.
1Soak in soda ash
Mix soda ash and water as the package says. Soak the hoodie 20 minutes and wring it out.
2Scrunch it
Set the rack over the bin. Crumple the hoodie on top in tight folds.
3Pile on ice
Cover it completely with a thick layer of ice.
4Sprinkle the dye
Wear a mask. Tap small spoonfuls of dye over the ice in patches.
5Let it melt
Leave it 24 hours somewhere warm. The ice melts the dye down through the fabric.
6Rinse and wash
Rinse in cold until clear. Wash it alone in hot water.
Black dye splits into blues and purples as it melts. It's the most surprising color to try.
