So I have been dyeing (haha) to try the Kumo Shibori technique that I found on Honestly WTF (which the above images are from). I got some rubber bands, pebbles, and white scarf.
I had a lot of fun doing this, and loved how the scarf turned out. It would be great on a number of applications from pillows to old clothes. I used rubber bands to wrap the white scarf fabric over pebbles that I bought from the dollar store. A couple of things I didn’t like. I used a black dye, but it ended up being blue. Anyone know of a good black fabric dye? Also, I didn’t let the dye dissolve enough so I did get some dark spots.
The unwilling model is my dog, Momma Cass :)
I love this posting! Momma Cass looks awesome in her scarf!
try Procion H dye for a deep rich black, mix it quite concentrated or you can buy it pre-mixed.
Thanks Donna! I will have to give that brand a try next time
