WEEK NINE

TOPIC: TIE-DYE

DEFINITION OF TIE-DYE

Tie-dye is a textile craft which in a plain cotton fabric is tied at various points with raffia and dipped into a dye solution. The tied fabric takes the colour of the dye stuff after completing the dyeing process and when untied has beautiful designs formed on it. In tie-dye, the resist material is raffia and waxed thread, which prevent the dye solution from penetrating certain areas of the firmly tied fabric.

METHODS OF TYING FABRIC

1. Circle tying: Pick the fabric away from the middle point and tie it tightly with raffia at regular intervals. This tying process can be done repeatedly all over the fabric.
2. Clumb tying: Solid materials like pebbles, bottle tops and pieces of wood cut into different shapes and sizes are placed on fabric, wrapped and tied at various areas firmly with raffia.
3. Marbling: Fabric is rolled into a ball like shape and tied randomly or in no specific order after it has been first straightened out and gathered together casually..
4. Stitching: It involves the use of needle and thread to make stitches of intricate designs on fabric.
5. Knotting: Pick the fabric at the edges and free areas then knot it firmly.
6. Pleating: Fabric is folded systematically in accordion style. After successfully folding the fabric, twine or raffia is used to tie the fabric at intervals.

Tie-dye is practiced in Sokotoand Abeokuta in Ogun state.
