My First Shibori Scarf
My grandmother recently taught a Shibori Scarf dying class, she’s an expert at all things dyed! We stopped and visited her on the first leg of our California Road Trip, and got a quick lesson on Shibori and prepped a silk scarf for dying!
Last week she dyed it (since we were only there for one night, one end in red & the other black, the scarf acts like a wick and soaks up the dye)and popped it in the snail mail to me! Here’s what it looked like when it arrived…
After some untying…
And washing…
And drying…
Sucess! The scarf is ready to wear!
I’m ever so proud of my first Shibori Scarf, although it’s a little pinker than I had imagined! I guess that means I just have to go order some scarfs and dye and try again!
