Itinerary
There is a process to extract color from natural sources and, more importantly, a process to bind the dyestuff to the fiber. Learn the stages as we share the recipe for 2 sources (choose from madder, marigold, cutch, sappan wood, ratanjot, henna, pomegranate, onion, tea and more) that you pick to color your stole. You’ll have a go at twisting, clamping your stole to create a resist (Bandhani) pattern.
