Shibori Stencils

The stencils are made of a sturdy plastic and are semi opaque so that you can see a previously drawn line through them. Registration marks help you register a pattern and keep it true. Their use is suitable for dyed shibori and for achieving relief shibori, which has a three dimsional surface interest when heat treated.

Two new stencils for 2008. 'Squared' now in. 'HoneyComb' available soon. Both in narrow and wide gauge.
