I generally use a good strong poly sewing thread nothing too special. sometimes I will use an upholstery thread if I really want to pull on it It also helps if the fabric is a nice tight weave otherwise you risk having the thread slip through.
Hi, I would love to use one of your images in a talk I am giving on Friday on Saltspring Island - I will give full credit = can you let me know if you are OK with this? karin
This is called Karamatsu Shibori or larch pattern
I thought I would try it again today.

though i love the post-dyed product, i'm such a sucker for the pre sculptural part of shibori.
Oh Jeanne I love it too and its fun to photograph!
what kind of thread do you use?
