    What's the largest piece of fabric that you've dyed this way?

    I've done a couple of yards outdoors using a piece of vinyl 'closet maid' shelving. Outdoors works really good when the temps are hovering just above freezing.

    If you ice dye outdoors and the temps are warm, just slip a garbage bag over your rack when the ice is almost melted. It keeps the moisture in for the fiber-reactive dyes to keep working. Here's some ice dyed silk scarves that I do so you can see that it works on many types of fabric...makes a fantastic tee shirt too.

    Ice dyed upcycled denim from old white or tan jeans makes great fabric for Kindle covers. I made these for my cousin's kids when they went nuts for the one on my own Kindle.
