On the left is a t-shirt done with Low Water Immersion (LWI) technique and on the right a t-shirt done traditionally. They are the same brand, both pre washed (scoured) and folded in a 'spider' spiral, twisting up toward the neckline; both dyed with the same blue and green dyes, blue on one side, green on the other.
The LWI shirt was dry when I squirted on the dye and I added the soda ash after about an hour.
The tradional shirt was pre soaked in soda ash, spiraled than dyed.
Both were batched overnight...the LWI in it's own bucket, covered and the other in a plastic bag. (The LWI may have been at a lower temperature.)
