WOOL SHIBORI SCARF COLOR:GREEN / GREY Going back to ancient timesThis striking 100% wool scarf is made using the shibori dyeing technique. The word shibori means to wring, squeeze, and press, referring to the traditional, manual Japanese dyeing technique. This technique produces multitone patterns on fabric and is similar to yet more intricate than tie dyeing. The earliest example of shibori dyed fabric in Japan is from the eighth century, found among the goods donated by Emperor Shmu to the Tdai ji temple in Nara.
