To know before starting: LE Shibori is a technique of ancestral folding and dyeing that comes from Japan. One of its variations is translated into twists and texts of textiles in geometric shapes held by various bindings of the elastic type, pliers or wood, which is then plunged into dye baths. The tightening links prevent dyeing from reaching certain areas of the fabrics, which makes it possible to obtain patterns as surprising as graphic and poetic on the fabric. Originally, shibori was often in shades of indigo, the only natural color used in dye in the 7th century. Today, this technique is available in All possible colors.
