Itajime Shibori is a traditional Japanese resist dyeing technique that uses folding, clamping, and pressure to create intricate geometric patterns on fabric. In Mastering Itajime: 50 Folds & Color Studies, we’ll explore 50 unique folds while studying color mixing, overdyeing, and layering techniques to create some exciting and unique fabrics.

Before we begin exploring the first fold, it’s essential to understand how colors mix, layer, and interact in dyeing. In this foundational lesson, we’ll cover:

The three types of color mixing: bright, muted, and neutral.
Dye strength ratios and why some colors overpower others.
How Neutral Gray vs. Black affects color muting.
The basics of overdyeing and layering for depth and variation.

This knowledge will help you mix colors intentionally, avoid muddy results, and create beautiful, controlled color effects throughout this series.
