Collection: Shibori Technique - Arashi
The Japanese term for “storm” because it creates a pattern reminiscent of rainfall, also known as the pole-wrapping technique. You will need a piece of fabric (square is easiest, but you can fold sleeves, etc., inward to create a symmetrical shape if you’re using a different shape of fabric), a wooden dowel or piece of PVC pipe and twine.
