We've Moved
EXOT BLUE has moved from Long Island to the Catskills Mountains in New York as of April 4th
Everything is still in boxes.
Our dyeing studio is, at the moment, a dilapidated Trophy Shop.
But, we have begun to paint and redecorate.
And, nature's bountiful green colors surround us.

We got some scraps of gorgeous marbleized matte silk at a recent crafts show,

Shibori Definition
- shibori — /shi.bo.ri/ — The Japanese word for a variety of ways of embellishing textiles by shaping cloth and securing it before dyeing. The word comes from the verb root shiboru, "to wring, squeeze, press." Although shibori is used to designatc a particular group of resist-dyed textiles, the verb root of the word emphasizes the action performed on cloth, the process of manipulating fabric.
