A Timeless Tradition Reimagined: Indigo Dyeing for the Modern Crafter
Indigo, a natural dye derived from plants, boasts a rich history spanning millennia. From the vibrant hues adorning ancient Egyptian fabrics to the iconic blue jeans we know and love today, indigo has woven itself into the tapestry of human creativity.
Shibori, a Japanese resist-dyeing technique, adds another layer of artistry to indigo dyeing. By strategically folding, twisting, binding, or compressing the fabric before dipping it into the indigo vat, intricate patterns emerge, each telling a unique story of the dyer’s hand.
