Actually, you should be able to find this at any, larger craft store. At this time of year, I have seen them prominently displayed. Here is a great site for tie-dye products and info: http://www.dharmatrading.com/. Hope this helps!

i have always loved tie-dye…i love the brightness and the random designs. my daughter also loves tie-dye and bell bottoms and anything “hippy”…it keeps going. my grand-daughters love tie-dye. just a couple days ago we were “dying” at the kitchen table so one of them would have tie-dyed sox to go to girl scout camp…i also find that it is a great way to salvage a favorite shirt that just won’t let go of a stain!! Express yourself colorfully!!!
