Tie-dye is a modern term coined in the mid-1960s in the United States for a set of ancient resist-dyeing techniques, and for the products of these processes.

The earliest surviving examples of pre-Columbian tie-dye in Peru date from 500 to 810 AD.

Shibori includes a form of tie-dye that originated in Japan and Indonesia; practiced since at least the 8th century.

Tie-dyeing was known in the US by 1909, when Professor Charles E. Pellow of Columbia Univ acquired samples of tie-dyed muslin then gave a lecture and live demonstration of the technique.

Although shibori & batik techniques were used occasionally in Western fashion before the 1960s, modern psychedelic tie-dying did not become a fad until the late 1960s following the example set by Janis Joplin and John Sebastian (who dyed his own clothing)
