The term "tiedye" refers to a dying technique whereby one knots up fabric before it is dyed in order to produce patterns within the dyed material. It works because if you knot the fabric, the dye cannot reach into the knotted areas of the fabric and tends to produce an un-dyed area in the shape of a starburst pattern on the fabric.
