Exploring Shibori – Kumo Dyeing

September 3, 2014 by Katie Smith 1 Comment

I posted about Shibori here on Indie Crafts last week, it’s becoming a bit of an indie trend. What is Shibori Dyeing anyway? Shibori is really what tie-dyeing is based on. According to Wiki and Annette from Fiber Artsy, “There are an infinite number of ways one can bind, stitch, fold, twist, or compress cloth for shibori, and each way results in very different patterns. Each method is used to achieve a certain result, but each method is also used to work in harmony with the type of cloth used. ”

Annette shared her version of dyeing a silk scarf with the Kumo Shibori method which involves pleating and binding.

Looking for Tie Dye kits? Our prefered bran is Tulip Tye Dye kits with strong vibrant colours that last.

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well.
