GWN Tie Dye
(Daf Summers)
Fibre arts
Hand-dyed upcycled clothing, fabrics, yarns
Daf, a tie dye artist who has been painting yarns since 2012, created GWN Tie Dye in 2023, after a season of learning a new technique, known as ice dyeing. Daf noticed while there are many tie dye artists, there are very few dye-blending companies in Canada. She began designing dye blends that split into spectacular colours for ice dyeing techniques for the vibrant tie dye community.
​
Daf upcycles woven, jersey and terry cloth fabrics/clothing/yarns to give new life to curated upcycled fashion and home decor pieces. Daf also makes bespoke hand dyed, handcrafted pieces in knitting, crochet, macrame and weaving.
​
Daf has a deep love for making extraordinary and eye popping fibres, textile designs, and colours on every imaginable surface.
