In the traditional technique of shibori, stitches are placed into a piece of commercial cloth with a needle, the cloth is compressed, and then dyed. In woven shibori supplemental wefts are woven diectly into the cloth, thus becoming part of the original cloth construction; textures, patterns and images appear in the weave, creating sumptious effects. Step-by-step instructions, draft and dyeing tutorials all help to simplify the process.
