History of Tie-dyeing

The traditions of the dye-resist process involved tying, knotting, and binding, of the fabric before the die immerges. The earliest surviving examples of pre-Columbian tie-dye were found in Peru somewhere from 500-800A.D. Tie-dyeing became a fashion trend in the West in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Then, tie-dyeing was part of the hippie style.
