Bringing together shibori resist techniques and the distinctive look of indigo, this book offers a fresh approach to a well-known Japanese craft using 100% natural indigo dyes. Clear instructions and photographs guide you through straightforward methods designed for home use, with ideas for applying dyeing to clothing, accessories and home goods.

Alongside pattern-making through folding and resist processes, it covers preparing fabrics, mixing dyes, building and preserving colour, and working with cotton, linen, wool and other materials. Techniques include wax, stitching and tying, as well as creating effects by sponging, dripping, rolling and silk screening. With its beginner-friendly focus, it is suited to readers looking to explore shibori tie-dyeing in a practical, step-by-step format.
