Arashi Shibori is known as pole-wrapping shibori.
The cloth is wrapped on a diagonal around a pole. Then the cloth is very tightly bound by wrapping thread up and
down the pole. Next, the cloth is scrunched on the pole. The result is a pleated cloth with a design or color
on a diagonal. The name arashi comes from the Japanese word for storm. The patterns or colors are always
on a diagonal in arashi shibori which suggest the driving rain of a heavy storm.

silk ribbon used in my corsages is hand dyed in Long Beach, California.
