réserve

Just found an article on this type of dying:
The chosen fabric can be tie and dyed using either """raffia resist""" or """stitch resist"""with two different dyes at least.
Wax is used as a "resist" by crumpling, folding, spreading and randomly splashing of the wax before dying

Thanks for your help. I suppose what I am confused about is should I translate (for example) les réserves nouées as knotted reserves or knotted reserve-dyeing or what?

Are you sure that this is "reserve dyeing"? According to philgoddard's reference, that would be accomplished by treating the fabric so part is resistant to the dye. However, tie-dyeing might not come under that heading. However, this is not my field, so it's just a thought.

The translation is reserve, as in reserve dyeing http://en.termwiki.com/EN/reserve_dyeing
so these are different ways of preventing the dye from reaching the fabric if I understand it correctly.

However, you seem to be asking how to avoid the repetition in the French. Am I right?

And is this a list of bullet points that appears in the text, or have you extracted every occurrence of the word from the document?

If it's the former, you can simply leave out "reserve" - you don't need to repeat it in every bullet point.

If it's the latter, you can't avoid the repetition as far as I can see.
