Shibori-Inspired Hand Dyed Hoodie

This project was to familiarize us with knits and elastic, and to make a fun little hoodie in a day. I hand dyed my fabric, drawing inspiration from Japanese techniques.

I cut out the fabric and then rolled up each piece, securing it with rubber bands. I then placed all the bundles in a giant pot and dyed the fabric using iDye violet. The result is that I was able to control the direction of the white striping.
