The Wax-and-Dye Method, also known as BATIK (5 letters), is a traditional dyeing technique used to create intricate patterns on fabric. This method involves coating the fabric with wax and then dyeing it in different colors. The wax acts as a resist, preventing the dye from penetrating the fabric in certain areas. After the fabric has been dyed, the wax is removed, revealing the pattern. This technique is often used to create beautiful and unique designs on clothing and other fabrics.
