This item is handmade using wood block printing and plant based dyes. Intricate designs are etched into wood blocks by master block makers. Natural dyes are derived from indigo, henna, turmeric, pomegranate, jaggery, iron etc The block is dipped into the dye and the print is stamped onto the fabric by hand, one block at a time.
Complex designs require the use of two or more overlapping prints. The fabric is treated between prints for color setting. The treatment of the fabric and the number of stages involved vary for each color. This includes washing and boiling the fabric with various plant based derivatives mixed in water. Finally the fabric is washed in shallow river waters to wash off the extra color and to set the final color.
Fabric care: Hand wash separately in cold water
