What is tea dyeing? Is it kinda like tie die ???

Question

What is the purpose for tye dyeing?

Answer 1

dark teas can be used to dye fabrics. my mother successfully used a basin full of lipton tea to turn our white curtains into beige curtains.

the fabric doesn't have to be tie-dyed, but you can if want to achieve the tie-dye patterns.

the purpose of tie-dying is to create abstract designs on cloth by bundling/scrunching the fabric and tying with string before applying the dyes or tea. when the fabric is untied and laid flat, a unique pattern appears.
