Indigo printing is a dyeing technique used to create patterns on fabric using indigo dye. Indigo is a natural plant-based dye that has been used for centuries in various cultures around the world.
The process of indigo printing involves creating a resist pattern on the fabric using wax or other materials. The fabric is then immersed in an indigo dye bath, which penetrates the fabric except where it has been resisted. This creates a pattern on the fabric that is visible once the resist material is removed.
Indigo printing is popular for creating intricate
designs on fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool. The technique can be used to create a variety of patterns including stripes, dots, and intricate geometric designs.
Indigo printing is commonly used for traditional garments such as Japanese kimonos, African wax prints, and Indian block prints. It is also used in modern fashion and home decor to create unique and visually appealing designs on fabric.
