What is the process of tie-dyeing?

Tie-dyeing process is divided into two parts: tying and coloring. It is done by tying, sewing, binding, embellishing, pinning and other forms of coloring on the textile by means of yarn, thread, rope and other tools. The technical characteristics of the process are that the dyeing is done by tying the knot with thread on the textile to be dyed, and then removing the knotted thread. It has hundreds of transformation techniques with unique characteristics. For example, the "roll on twist" is colorful, and the transformation is certainly interesting. What is even more surprising is that even though there are hundreds of flowers of each kind, they do not appear the same after dyeing. This unique artistic expression is difficult to be achieved by mechanical printing and dyeing process. In 2007, Zhang Shishen of Zhoucheng Town, Dali, Yunnan Province, was recognized as a national-level inheritor of tie-dyeing.
