For these examples, we mordanted our silk, then let it dry before doing our designs, but you can apply the shibori before or after mordanting.
Step 1
Gather your materials
1 silk scarf
+
twine
Step 2
Tie your twine in a super tight knot. We started at the corner of the fabric, but you can start from anywhere.
Step 3
Tightly wrap your twine around the draped fabric. The twine is what is creating the resist, so be sure to tie it tightly.
Step 4
Our fabric got a little wonky, but that's okay! Pre-wet your bundle, then add it to your dye bath.
Step 5
Voilá! Another beautiful one-of-a-kind silk scarf dyed in our Osage Natural Dye Kit.
