Woven Shibori
Revised and Updated
By Catharine Ellis

Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist dye technique with cloth tied before dyeing to create pattern. In her book, Woven Shibori, Catherine Ellis instructs weavers on techniques she developed to incorporate the tyeing threads into the weaving process to create beautiful patterns in dyed cloth. This revised edition includes a focus on using natural dyes for the dyeing process. The book features:

• Techniques for incorporating shibori into two-shaft weaves, monk's belt, overshot, twills, laces, and other patterns
• Guidance and inspiration for creating your own woven shibori designs
• Instructions for preparing the fabric for dyeing and finishing the dyed cloth
• Recipes for creating natural dyes from plants and insects to dye both plant and animal fibers
• Special effects for enhancing woven shibori, including layering colors, cross dyeing, felting, creating permanent pleats, and burning out.
