Colors may differ ever so slightly to the pictures due to different viewing monitors / device displays. Fabric Care : Wash fabric in cold/lukewarm water, ideally by hand, & shade dry. [ What is Batik? ] Batik is a resist process for making designs on fabric. The artist uses wax to prevent dye from penetrating the cloth, leaving blank areas in the dyed fabric. [ What is Indigo Dye? ] Indigo dye has been used for thousands of years by civilizations all over the world to dye fabric blue. As much as 1 tonne of leaves is needed to produce just 2kg of dye. Natural indigo is also a sustainable dye; after the pigment has been extracted the plant residue can be composted & used as a fertilizer & the water reused to irrigate crops.
