Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile printing and dyeing technology, specifically to a three-dimensional tie-dyeing process that simulates the foam texture on the surface of indigo dye liquor. Background Technology

[0002] Tie-dyeing, also known as resist dyeing, is a unique ancient Chinese resist-dyeing technique. It involves binding or tying fabric in specific areas to prevent dyeing and create the desired pattern. The process involves first drawing the pattern on the fabric (called "drawing the pattern below"), then sewing or binding sections of the fabric with needle and thread. After resist treatment, the fabric displays a gradient of white patterns from dark to light.

[0003] Traditional tie-dyeing techniques, such as cloud dyeing and deer fetus tie-dyeing, can produce a rich variety of patterns. However, traditional tie-dyeing involves dyeing after the tie is made and then removing the stitches to reveal the beautiful patterns. As times change and aesthetics evolve, the number of artisans who have mastered the core traditional techniques is decreasing, and the inheritance of the craft faces the risk of being interrupted, especially among the younger generation, few of whom understand and practice the craft. Furthermore, traditional tie-dyeing patterns mostly follow ancient methods. Although they have historical and cultural value, they are limited in their ability to be combined with modern aesthetics and practical needs, making it difficult to be widely integrated into contemporary daily life and the consumer market. In addition, traditional crafts have long production cycles and low efficiency, and the finished product effect depends heavily on the individual experience of the artisan, which to some extent limits its large-scale development and innovative application. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a three-dimensional tie-dyeing process that simulates the foam texture on the surface of indigo dyeing solution, in order to solve the problems of difficulty in inheritance, low production efficiency and insufficient compatibility with modern aesthetics caused by the high dependence on personal experience in the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a three-dimensional tie-dyeing process simulating the foam texture on the surface of indigo dyeing solution, comprising the following steps:

[0006] A pattern consisting of a central circle and multiple outer circles is drawn on the fabric.

[0007] Using a continuous thread, sew along the following path: starting from point A on the center circle, sew the center circle in a counterclockwise / clockwise direction;

[0008] When the center circle is about to be completed, the transition point is from point E, where the center circle is tangent to a certain outer circle, to that outer circle.

[0009] Then, the outer circular shape is stitched in a clockwise / counterclockwise direction;

[0010] When the outermost circular seam is about to complete one revolution, transition from point D to point C of the next adjacent outermost circular seam;

[0011] And sew all the outer circular shapes in a clockwise / counterclockwise direction in sequence;

[0012] It exits from point B, the last outermost circle;

[0013] Finally, the seam is tightened to gather the fabric in the sewn area to form a three-dimensional raised shape, and then it is fixed and post-processed.

[0014] This technique physically binds fabric areas to prevent them from fully contacting the dye solution during dyeing, thus creating a pattern. Its core innovation lies in using a continuous thread to sew along a specific path (starting from the central circle, twisting counter-clockwise / clockwise, transitioning to outer circular areas at a specific point, and then twisting all the outer circular areas sequentially). This organically connects all circular areas into a unified network using the same thread. When the thread is finally tightened, all sewn areas synchronously and evenly contract and converge towards the center, forcing the fabric to arch upwards, forming a large, continuous, radial, composite three-dimensional protrusion, rather than multiple independent scattered points. This efficiently and accurately simulates the three-dimensional texture of foam clusters on the surface of indigo dye. Subsequent fixing, dyeing, and post-treatment transform this three-dimensional structure into a permanent pattern with rich color gradations.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjacent peripheral circles are tangent to each other, and all peripheral circles are tangent to the central circle.

[0016] This tangential arrangement simulates the natural form of bubbles squeezing and closely adjacent to each other in a foam structure, ensuring the continuity and gaplessness of the stitched area. In terms of process implementation, this geometric relationship provides a logical path for the transition of the stitches and makes the tangential point the starting point for stress concentration and fabric wrinkling during the tightening process. This ensures that the final three-dimensional texture is more regular, full, and has a stronger biomimetic effect, avoiding the messy or irregular effects that may occur due to the dispersion of the pattern.

[0017] Furthermore, the suture is a high-strength, low-elongation, and corrosion-resistant thread.

[0018] High strength ensures that the thread can withstand enormous tension without breaking during the final, powerful pull. Low elongation ensures that the thread will not spring back or loosen after being tightened, thus firmly locking the fabric in place. This keeps the three-dimensional raised shape fixed and undeformed during subsequent long-term dyeing processes, preventing dye from seeping in and damaging the clarity of the pattern. Corrosivity ensures that the thread retains its strength even after prolonged immersion in indigo dye, providing long-term preservation without breaking and preventing the entire stitched structure from failing due to corrosion or weathering.

[0019] Furthermore, the tightening operation involves a one-time, forceful pull of the entire thread, causing all the stitched circular areas to tighten simultaneously, gathering together to form a unified, radially arranged, three-dimensional raised shape.

[0020] The one-time strong pull avoids the uneven force and fabric distortion problems that may occur with segmented tightening. It ensures that all circular areas connected by the same seam can instantly, synchronously, and evenly shrink and gather towards the center. The combined force generated by this synchronous shrinkage forces the fabric to arch upward and towards the center, thus forming a large composite protrusion with strong integrity and uniform shape. Its radial pleated structure is determined by the radial path of the seam from the center to the periphery.

[0021] Furthermore, the post-processing includes a dyeing step, which is an indigo dyeing process, and the indigo dyeing process involves repeated immersion and oxidation reactions.

[0022] Indigo dye is insoluble in water and needs to be reduced to a leuco form before it can be absorbed by fibers. It is then oxidized in the air to return to its insoluble blue color and become fixed in the fibers. This process of repeated short-time dyeing, with each time only lightly dyeing and fixing the color through oxidation, allows the color to deepen gradually and in a controlled manner. For tie-dye works, the tightly bound raised top can only come into contact with a very small amount of dye each time, thus forming an extremely soft and rich color gradient from a dark blue base to light blue and finally to white. This transition between light and dark greatly enhances the three-dimensionality and visual realism of the final foam texture.

[0023] A textile product having a three-dimensional pattern on its surface created by the process described above.

[0024] Furthermore, the three-dimensional pattern is composed of multiple closely adjacent protrusions, each protrusion corresponding to a bound circular area during the sewing process, and all the protrusions together form a composite three-dimensional texture resembling indigo-dyed foam.

[0025] The closely adjacent protrusions are caused by the tangent pattern design and synchronous tightening process. Each protrusion corresponds to a bound circular area as the cause of the pattern. All the protrusions together form a composite three-dimensional texture that imitates indigo dyeing foam. The final result is not a collection of multiple isolated points, but an indivisible, holistic composite texture structure that imitates foam clusters, which is different from traditional dotted tie-dye.

[0026] Furthermore, the color of the pattern is formed by indigo dyeing and has the property of fading naturally with exposure to sunlight and washing during use, forming a unique color fading effect.

[0027] Indigo dye is primarily attached to the surface of fibers rather than forming a strong chemical bond. Therefore, with daily exposure to sunlight and washing, the dye molecules on the surface will gradually fall off. This process is natural and not entirely predictable, resulting in a unique, vintage visual effect for each product, bearing the personal traces of the user, which increases the product's artistic value and uniqueness.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a three-dimensional tie-dyeing process that simulates the foam texture on the surface of indigo dyeing liquid. Through the concentrated force generated by the multi-center tangential design and directional continuous tie-dyeing, the protruding shape is full and the structure is stable, which highly restores the three-dimensional texture of the foam cluster.

[0029] Patterns can be precisely designed in advance, and a rich variety of regular textures can be created by changing the number, size, and arrangement of circles;

[0030] The entire unit pattern is completed in one continuous stitch, avoiding frequent starting, knotting and thread changing, which significantly improves production efficiency and ensures the integrity and mechanical integrity of the pattern unit.

[0031] Combined with indigo dyeing techniques, the finished product's color will naturally fade with use, sunlight, and washing, forming a unique mark of time and enhancing its artistic and emotional value.

[0032] It achieves efficient and standardized production of complex 3D textures, ensuring product consistency. Attached Figure Description

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A three-dimensional tie-dyeing process that simulates the foam texture on the surface of indigo dyeing solution includes the following steps:

[0043] Draw a pattern on the fabric consisting of a central circle 1 and multiple outer circles 2;

[0044] Using a continuous thread, sew along the following path: starting from point A3 on center circle 1, sew the center circle 1 in a counterclockwise / clockwise direction;

[0045] When the stitching of the center circle 1 is about to be completed, the transition is made from point E 7, where the center circle 1 is tangent to a certain outer circle 2, to that outer circle 2.

[0046] Then, the outer circle 2 is stitched in a clockwise / counterclockwise direction;

[0047] When the outermost circle 2 is about to complete one revolution, it transitions from point D6 to point C5 of the next adjacent outermost circle 2;

[0048] And sew all the outer circular shapes 2 in a clockwise / counterclockwise direction in sequence;

[0049] It exits from point B4 of the last outer circle 2;

[0050] Finally, tighten the seam to gather the fabric in the sewn area to form a three-dimensional raised shape, and then perform final processing and fixation.

[0051] The adjacent outer circle type 2 are tangent to each other, and all outer circle type 2 are tangent to the central circle 1.

[0052] The sutures are made of high-strength, low-stretch, and dye-resistant synthetic fibers.

[0053] The tightening operation involves a powerful, one-time pull of the entire thread, causing all the stitched circular areas to tighten simultaneously, gathering together to form a unified, radially arranged, three-dimensional raised shape.

[0054] Post-treatment includes the dyeing process, which is indigo dyeing. The indigo dyeing process involves repeated immersion and oxidation reactions.

[0055] A textile product having a three-dimensional pattern on its surface created by the above-described process.

[0056] The three-dimensional pattern is composed of multiple closely adjacent protrusions. Each protrusion corresponds to a bound circular area during the sewing process, and all the protrusions together form a composite three-dimensional texture that resembles indigo-dyed foam.

[0057] The colors of the pattern are formed through indigo dyeing and possess the property of fading naturally with exposure to sunlight and washing during use, creating a unique color fading effect.

[0058] On a 50cm x 50cm cotton square scarf, draw a pattern with a water-soluble pen. First, draw a central circle 1 with a diameter of 2.5cm. Then, draw six petal-shaped outer circles 2 closely around it, ensuring that each outer circle 2 is tangent to the central circle 1 and that adjacent outer circles 2 are tangent to each other, forming a perfectly symmetrical structure. Using 40 denier high-strength polyester thread, start the needle from point A 3 on the central circle 1 and sew counterclockwise. When the needle reaches the point of tangency between the central circle 1 and the first outer circle 2, point E 7, directly transition to that outer circle 2 and immediately switch to a clockwise direction. When sewing to the predetermined point D 6 of that circle, transition to point C 5 of the second outer circle 2. Maintaining a clockwise direction, sew the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth outer circles 2 in sequence, transitioning sequentially from point D of the outer circle 2 to point C 5 of the next outer circle 2 that is tangent to it. After sewing the sixth outer circle 2, exit from the predetermined point B 4.

[0059] The seam was pulled tightly, and it was observed that seven circular areas were evenly contracted into a tight composite three-dimensional protrusion. It was then wrapped and knotted to fix it, and then immersed in a natural indigo dye vat for multiple oxidations. The post-treatment resulted in a textile product with a deep blue base and blue raised texture, with dense texture and a strong three-dimensional effect.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, a pattern path is drawn on the indigo-dyed fabric. A continuous thread is used to sew along the following path: starting from point A3 on the central circle 1, the central circle 1 is sewed in a counterclockwise / clockwise direction. When the central circle 1 is about to complete one round of sewing, the transition is made from point E7 of the central circle 1 and an outer circle 2 to the outer circle 2. Then, the outer circle 2 is sewed in a clockwise / counterclockwise direction. The sewing path of the outer circle 2 is opposite to that of the central circle 1. When the outer circle 2 is about to complete one round of sewing, the transition is made from point D6 to point C5 of the next adjacent outer circle 2. All outer circles 2 are sewn in the same direction in sequence. Finally, the thread is pulled out from point B4 of the last outer circle 2 and tightened to fix it, so that the sewn area of ​​fabric gathers to form a three-dimensional raised pattern.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fabric is indigo dyed using natural dyes. The natural dyes are made from natural materials such as wood ash, indigo grass, and glucose. Natural dyes do not contain chemical additives and will not cause chemical pollution.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the greige fabric can be dyed indigo with chemical dyes. The chemical dyes can maintain color stability under combined conditions such as sun exposure, sweat, and washing, and can preserve the three-dimensional pattern without discoloration for a long time.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 4 The arrow indicates the direction of the stitching. Point A3 is the initial stitching position. Point A3 is located between two adjacent outer circle 2 and on the edge of the center circle 1. After stitching along the edge of the center circle 1 in one direction, start stitching in the opposite direction from point E7, the outer circle 2 closest to point A3 and connected to the center circle 1, beyond half the edge of the outer circle 2 until it crosses the tangent edge of the outer circle 2. Then transition from point D6 to the adjacent point C5, keeping the stitching direction unchanged, until all the edges of the outer circle 2 are stitched. Tighten the thread, stack the fabric and gather it up to form a three-dimensional pattern.

[0064] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
