Answer 1

Dye your spiral as usual, applying fiber reactive dye in wedges, then dip one side of the whole shirt in a very shallow layer of strong black dye, or brush the black dye mixture on one side. This style is often called stained glass tie-dye.

It's best if you use at least twice as much dye powder when mixing up your black dye. Procion MX dye is great for this; never use an all-purpose dye such as Rit.

Answer 2

I'd think you'd start with a black t-shirt.
