Ombre Ice Dye Crewneck
Dyed to order in this colorway. Maria uses the featured palette for every garment, while the melting ice creates natural variation in each finished pattern.

This ice-dye ombré crewneck moves through black, gray, and purple on a Gildan Heavy Blend sweatshirt. The fleece-lined, classic unisex shape gives the graduated colorway a broad front and back to travel across.
I prepare and fold the crewneck, then put dry dye powder over mounded ice. The melt pulls the three shades down at uneven rates, so one section may hold a dark edge while another fades through gray into purple. That exact ombré cannot form again.
I hand dye the black, gray, and purple ombré crewneck in York, Pennsylvania; wash this Gildan sweatshirt cold inside out and tumble low.
