Pashmina Patchworked Shawl

handcrafted clamp, tussar based shawl back lined with Pashima, a reverisble shawl perfect for a winter evening parties.

To make a shaped-resist pattern, part of a fabric has to be bound, clamped, folded, pleated, stitched, twisted, or wrapped before dyeing; the dye penetrates the non-resisted areas only. After dyeing, and once the fabric is released from its bindings, a positive and negative design shows. We have used the Japanese technique of Shibori to create this Positive-Negative Shawl
