The wind comes from Keqiao｜Tie-dye cloth with flowers shows the charm of traditional culture

There is an ancient folk hand-dyed technology in our country that can present colorful patterns on cotton, linen, silk and other textiles. It is tie-dye.

The tie-dye process has a strong national style, and was called tie-dye, twisted tie, clamped tie and dyed tie in ancient times. According to records, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, tie-dyed twisted valerian silk had been produced in large quantities. Works from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 408 AD also show the maturity of tie-dying technology. In 2006 and 2008, the Bai tie-dye technique in Dali, Yunnan and the Zigong tie-dye technique in Sichuan were listed as national intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture.

Tie-dying has three important steps: binding, dyeing, and unfolding. Before tie-dying, the designer draws the desired pattern, and then bundles the textile parts according to the pattern so that they cannot be completely colored. Due to the external force of the bundling, the textile will be dyed unevenly. After the binding is untied, there will be spots on the fabric. The rich layers of color halo, wrinkles and ice cracks, one deep, one shallow, one wrinkled and one flat, are stunning. If you tie them randomly, you will get unexpected patterns. The dyes used in the tie-dye process mainly come from the indigo solution of natural plants such as indigo, isatis root, and mugwort, especially isatis root.

In recent years, tie-dye has become more and more popular among young people. It can be seen frequently in the works of independent designer brands and on the stage of international fashion weeks. With their presence, traditional culture is taking on new vitality. It is reported that it is the only area that can tie-dye both fabrics and garments. Li Wenhao, head of Wanhao Textile, told reporters: “At present, tie-dye printing orders are on the rise, but because tie-dyeing is a manual operation, the quality of finished products will be uncontrollable when the order volume is large, and companies need to keep a close eye on the products.” Tie-dye pattern style Diverse and unique, Wanhao Textile designs hundreds of tie-dye patterns every year based on its grasp of fashion trends and customer needs.

Shaoxing Shuole Textile Co., Ltd. specializes in various tie-dyed fabrics. Tie-dyed milk silk, tie-dyed sweatshirt fabric, tie-dyed shirt fabric, etc. are their top products. According to the person in charge, tie-dye is more random and individual than other prints, and each piece has its own soul. Sales of tie-dyed sweatshirt fabrics have increased this year, and tie-dye elements of suitable shades have brought a unique charm to casual and sports sweatshirts.

With the expansion of market demand for tie-dye patterns, tie-dye patterns have become increasingly complex and diversified. Modern tie-dye art keeps pace with the times and breaks through the limitations of traditional techniques and materials. It uses digital printing technology combined with traditional tie-dye to better display the folk art style and solve the problem of uncontrollable dyeing quality. .
