Woven Shibori

From inspiration....

The warp is first painted....

 

The pulling threads (white) create the pattern and are place in between plain weave.

 

 

Once the weaving is completed, the pulling threads are used to gather the cloth into a very compact strip



The compact strip is either dipped into a dye bath or the dye is painted onto the strip in the desired locations

The pulling threads are then removed

 

The cloth is opened up and ironed flat if desired
