tye dye
My favorite hobby
Tie-dye is a term used to describe a number of resist dyeing techniques and the resulting dyed products of
these
processes. The process of tie-dye typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or
a garment,
before binding with string or rubber bands, followed by the application of dye or dyes.[1] The manipulations
of the
fabric before the application of dye are called resists, as they partially or completely prevent ('resist')
the applied
dye from coloring the fabric. More sophisticated tie-dye may involve additional steps, including an initial
application
of dye before the resist, multiple sequential dyeing and resist steps, and the use of other types of resists
(stitching,
stencils) and discharge.
