Dye placement for a spiral

This photo is the 1st stage of a hybrid tie dye and low water immersion (LWI.)

See how the dye is applied in 'pie' shapes.

I applied the dye to a completely dry shirt, folded in a traditional swirl from the lower front corner. I let it sit for an hour or so then added a solution of soda ash and hot water. I added enough water to cover the item in the bucket.

This is the end result.

I only applied dye to one side of the item. That is why there is so much white.
