W120xL1400mm, China
This is a tie dye on a piece of hand woven silk. A short knitting needle like tool is used to pinch the silk for tying, this give a small and crisp effect on the fabric. The main outline of the pattern is not tied, resulting as a bold line for the design. Because of the nature of the silk and small ties, the fabric becomes stretchy and elastic. This technical was only developed in the last couple of decades, relatively modern in the long history of tie dye in China.
