More Indigo Dyeing
The vat is still good after sitting a few days, so I decided to try some more items.
I did more elaborate shibori techniques this time. Above, on the clothesline - a long sleeve T-shirt, two silk scarves, and a raw silk jacket. Below, four arashi shibori scarves.

Here is the pile of unwrapped indigo dyed items - ready for pre-washing. I soaked everything in cool water for a few hours prior to washing with Orvis paste.
I am happy with the T-shirt!

The silk scarves also turned out really great!
More indigo to come!
Your scarves have some really nice texture!
ReplyDeleteLove the Tshirt. It looks like bamboo!
ReplyDeleteooooh, I'm loving the indigo work you are doing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat diameter of pvc pipe are you using to wrap things around?
Louise, I am using 2.5" diameter PVC pipe for my pole wrapping. This is a great size for silk scarves and fat quarters.
