Impact of Tie-Dye Techniques on the Durability and Aesthetic Appeal of Textiles

Tie-Dyeing Technique	Characteristics	Applicable Range
Knotting and binding dyeing	Vibrant colors, distinct color blocks, clear lines	Small or medium-sized textile products
Folding and clamping dyeing	Strong color layering, three-dimensional patterns	Medium or large-sized textile products
Tying and knotting dyeing	Natural and smooth patterns, good color gradient effects	Large-sized textile products
Stitching and binding dyeing	Diverse and vivid patterns, specific shapes	Small or medium-sized textile products
Direct dyeing	Distinct shapes, vibrant color blocks	Large-sized textile products
