Haian tie-dyeing

Tie-dyeing is an ancient handicraft, which was first seen in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and prevailed in Tang Dynasty. Until Emperor Renzong of Northern Song Dynasty, the tie-dyeing process was once lost because of its extravagance and labor. Tie-dyeing enterprises in Hai 'an continue to innovate after resuming tie-dyeing production, making tie-dyeing techniques more perfect. Tie-dyeing can be divided into two categories: tying and twisting, which is also called "roe knot". Thread is used to tie four knots around a small point as big as a grain of rice in sequence, which requires high technology, and the product is full of three-dimensional sense and elasticity. Every twisting is done by sewing according to the designed pattern and drawing tightly, and the decoration is lively and generous, and the charm is vivid and natural. Tie-dyed products are rich and colorful, including fashion, ties, scarves, handbags and other daily necessities, as well as precious handicrafts such as kimonos, belts and wall hangings, both silk products and cotton and linen fabrics.
