This month the question was what is shibori? Let’s turn to the Oxford English Dictionary where we learn that shibori:
Is “Any of several Japanese manual resist-dyeing methods which involve folding, twisting, binding, stitching, or compressing cloth, and applying indigo or other dyes to produce a variety of patterns. Also (and in earliest use): the fabric produced using these methods.”
The question, and its answer, were found in the Oxford English Dictionary. An online version of which is found on the library’s Research & Homework page under “O” and accessible with your library card.
