The tie-dye technique for dyeing fabric has been around since the fourth century before current. Although I am guessing it is the bright swirling designs of the 60's that you are most likely referring to. The technique is still around today and although fashion trends changed in the 80's there certainly were old hold outs that continued to decorate clothing in that manner.

What dyes can be used to do tie dye?
For a colorfast tie dye a fiber reactive dye is needed such as Procion Dye from the Dharma Trading Company. Rit dye can be used but is not fiber reactive and not colorfast and the tie dye will fade colors after each wash.
