this is fantastic to see how they make and do things. thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you liked it!
I don't totally understand what they're doing with the tie-off before dying the thread. Is that tie-dying creating specific patterns? Or just variegating the yarn?
So many steps to the process, and beautiful results. Thanks for posting!
It looks like an ikat technique.
I posted this video in r/ArtisanVideos as well but feel you will probably enjoy it more. :)
