What is tie-dyeing?

is a dyeing technique.

Tie-dyeing is a traditional dyeing technique, which is also called fold dyeing or knot dyeing. By folding, bundling or binding the fabric, it can prevent the dye from penetrating into some areas, thus creating unique patterns and texture effects on the fabric. Tie-dyeing usually uses rope, rubber band, wood block or other materials to tie the fabric tightly, forming different creases and indentations to achieve the blocking effect during dyeing. Once the fabric is tied tightly, it can be soaked in dye, and the dye will only penetrate into the unbound part, forming bright colors and interesting textures. Tie-dyeing is widely used in the design and decoration of textiles, such as clothing, home textiles and handicrafts.
