Shibori with Silk Organza

Description:
Explore the unique dyeing possibilities of silk organza. Use shibori techniques like bōmaki pleating and itajime clamping to resist and save areas of the natural sericin and to degum the exposed areas. Use Procion MX fiber reactive dyes in two methods, immersion and direct brush application. Since silk with natural sericin and degummed silk take the dye differently often two hues can be achieved in one dye bath. Also, when applied directly, fiber-reactive dyes can produce halo effects of different hues.
