Shibori is the ancient Japanese art of folding and binding fabric and dyeing in an indigo vat. The bound areas remain bright white while the rest of the fabric turns beautiful shades of rich royal blue.
This kit contains everything you need to create your own unique textiles: the chemicals to produce a one-gallon dye vat (enough to color roughly three yards of fabric), two bandanas, and over 15 resists for creating patterns, including rubber bands, hemp twine, wooden craft sticks and squares, and clothespins.
In the accompanying DIY guide, you’ll learn:
How to prepare your dye vat safely and effectively
Techniques for folding, tying, and securing fabric to create unique patterns
Tips for rinsing, finishing, and caring for your dyed fabrics to preserve their vibrant colors
Care for the vat to continue dyeing until the indigo is depleted
Embrace the joy of hands-on fabric art and enjoy the satisfaction of creating your very own one-of-a-kind wearable or decorative pieces.
