Tie Dye

Is a resistance dye technique involving manipulating the fabric by twisting or tying the fabric with elastic bands to create the desired technique before being put into a dye bath. The elastic bands STOP the dye from reaching to the tightly twisted sections.

After being emersed into dye, the ties are then removed to reveal that these parts of the fabric have resisted the dye and leave an effect such as circles, stripes or a random pattern.
