Woven Shibori – Absolutely Georgeous!

It’s not all the time that an experimental textile is so pleasing, but this was. Undoing all of the knots after dyeing produced the most beautiful fluid designs on my woven shibori. I used a combination of fibre reactive dyes which I think simulates indigo to achieve the effect. It certainly made my complaint of weaving in boring old white yarn put to rest.
I’m going to weave lots of these!
Here’s a beautiful drawing of a plain weave basket.

    Your shibori scarf is just wonderful. I haven’t yet tried the technique, but I sure do want to. And, you really have achieved the look of indigo! Nice work.
