Tie:
The whole point of tie dyeing is to prevent the dye from reaching the fabric evenly. Any place that the dye can't reach will stay white, or a lighter color, of course. The gradations of color from intense to light can be beautiful. If accomplish this by folding the fabric, tieing it with string, using rubber bands, etc. Another reason to tie is that it makes each garment of piece of cloth a small, neat bundle--much easier to handle if have a lot to do. If don't tie, but just apply the dye directly, need more space and can do fewer garments or pieces of fabric at a time.
Tie Dyeing:
Knots are tied in the cloth before it is immersed in a dye bath. Tie Dye typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating or crumpling the fabric. String & rubber bands are used to bind the fabric.
