How to make easy shibori scarf

You need:silk or cotton fabric (i used silk organza). Steam fixed dye, large pole, strong thread, brush, kitchen foil, pan (which you don’t use for cooking and won’t use it )

    • Fold the fabric in half and wrap around the pole
  • Wind wide with elastic bands and then with strong thread
  • prepare steam fixed dye in  a palette (dropping some dye and adding water )
  • Apply the dye using brush
  • Wrap the piece in foil, put water in the pan (2cm of water) and then cover and the top of the bucket with foil. Steam the piece for 50 min- 1 hour on slow cook
  • Rinse well in warm not hot running water

Never use the pan for cooking again .
