Shibori Dyeing Step-by-Step (Part 2)

Part 2 is here! Time to see the magic happen. In this video, I'm dipping the linens we folded with four different shibori techniques last week into indigo—and walking you through every stage needed to achieve that deep, rich blue we all love. Here's what we'll cover: First dips: Into the indigo vat, letting each piece oxidize for 5 minutes Second dip: Back into the vat for deeper color penetration Long immersion: 20 minutes of patience while the indigo works deep into the fibers Oxidation & unbinding: Watching the fabric transform from yellow-green to blue as we unwrap each piece to reveal the stunning patterns underneath Neutralizing bath: A slightly acidic solution that helps set the color Rinse and dry: The final step to finish your beautiful shibori This is the part of natural dyeing that never gets old. The anticipation, the transformation, the moment you finally see what you've created. I hope you love it as much as I do! Drop any questions in the comments—I'm here for them. Happy dyeing! 🌿💙
