In this post, I’ll show you two shibori binding techniques: one is a simple binding technique using dry chickpeas and elastic bands and the other is a spider-web binding technique using cotton thread. Both producing unique and wonderful patterns!
I’ve been hand-dyeing fabric for several years. I can’t remember exactly when I got started, but I just remember being immediately drawn to how a plain piece of cloth could be transformed into unique patterns simply by tying, scrunching or binding fabric before submerging it in dye.
