Shibori Experiment 2

 I tried three different things this time.

1. Bomaki shibori in Raven Black where I stitched the fabric into a tube first, then soaked it in soda ash water and slipped it onto the PVC pipe like a sock and tightened the "laces."
- It didn't save time overall, but it did save the amount of time I had to deal with wet fabric.
- Results came out the same.
- This is what I will do for the skirt panels.

2. Arashi shibori in Muir Green. I draped the fabric over the pole, wrapped with buttonhole thread, and scrunched. Not what I am looking for in the skirt.
- Did not save time overall and had hands in contact with soda ash water for a while.
- Must pull thread tight!!

3. Arashi shibori in sapphire blue, but this time with a double-width of fabric. Again, I draped the fabric over the pole and then wrapped it up on itself, then wrapped with buttonhole thread and scrunched. It did not fade, as expected, but still produced a nice result.
- Use more dye than for narrower strips.
- Use less length - don't really need 120" of this one.
- If doing multiple runs at once, put this one on the pole first. It is harder to scrunch, especially if there is fabric hanging off the end.

The next test should be an over-dying test.
