You are closing off parts of the cloth so they don't take up any dye. That's how you can get different colors in different parts. Where the string is directly on the cloth, it keeps the original (usually white) color, making part of the pattern.

The strings tie the cloth into deep folds which the dye doesn't penetrate.
