What is indigo?
Indigo has been used all over the world from very ancient times. Natural indigo is obtained through a non toxic fermentation of indigo ( neel )plant leaves, which is the most widely used plant derived blue dye, with high color fastness.
What is Shibori?
Shibori is an ancient resist technique that originated in japan. By manipulating the cloth with folding, stitching, clamping, binding, and compressing the fabric, creates a natural resist area so when dyed, the compressed parts remains undyed / white while the exposed sections absorbs dye and creates fabulous patters. Tie dye when done only using indigo, its common called as Shibori dyeing.
