Tie and Dye

Treasures of India
Tie-dyeing is a fundamental textile art technique used in India for creating patterns on cloth by using it either on fabrics or on yarn. It is used for a range of textiles, including cotton odhanis, silk saris, and veils. Each region has its own peculiarities, influenced by regional differences in materials, tying techniques, or dyes used. Despite the evolution in dyeing methods and the use of synthetic dyes, tie-dyed textiles continue to be cherished for their enduring craftsmanship and cultural significance.
