Hand-dyed fabric is a type of fabric that has been dyed by hand, rather than with a machine. BATIK is a traditional Indonesian technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, and is used to create intricate designs on fabric. The process involves using hot wax to block out areas of the fabric that are not intended to be dyed, and then dyeing the fabric in a variety of colors. The wax is then removed to reveal the intricate designs created by the dyeing process.
