What is Shibori?
Shibori is a traditional Japanese manual resist dyeing technique that produces patterns on fabric. The term "shibori" comes from the Japanese verb "shiboru," which means "to wring, squeeze, and press." This technique involves folding, twisting, or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo or other colors to create intricate patterns.
