What are resist dyeing techniques?

Resist-dyeing is a widely used method of applying colours or patterns to fabric. A substance that is impervious to the dye blocks its access to certain areas of the fabric, while other parts are free to take up the dye colour. Tie-dyeing involves pinching areas of cloth and tying them tightly with thread before dyeing.

What is the most common type of resist dyeing material?

The most common forms use wax, some type of paste made from starch or mud, or a mechanical resist that manipulates the cloth such as tying or stitching. Another form of resist involves using a chemical agent in a specific type of dye that will repel another type of dye printed over the top.

What are the different dyeing techniques?

  • Beam Dyeing: In this method the warp is dyed prior to weaving.
  • Burl or speck Dyeing:
  • Chain Dyeing:
  • Cross Dyeing:

  • Piece Dyeing:

Is ikat resist dyeing?

The term “ikat” refers to the dyeing technique used to create the designs on the fabric. It is a resist dyeing process, where bundles of yarn are tightly wrapped together and then dyed as many times as is required to create the desired pattern.

Why is ikat expensive?

Because the surface design is created in the yarns rather than on the finished cloth, in ikat both fabric faces are patterned. Ikats with little blurriness, multiple colours and complicated patterns are more difficult to create and therefore often more expensive.

The technique of tying off sections of cloth or garments before treating it with dye has been around for centuries.

How are dyes used to resist textile printing?

Chemical: a modern textile printing method, commonly achieved using two different classes of fiber reactive dyes, one of which must be of the vinyl sulfone type. A chemical-resisting agent is combined with dye Type A, and printed using the screenprint method and allowed to dry. A second dye, Type B, is then printed overtop.

What is the Indonesian method of resist dyeing?

What are the different types of resist techniques?

Resist techniques can be seen in the most expensive and treasured textiles, but also in relatively humble objects. The exhibition is organized by technique in order to bring together examples from around the globe. The objects are grouped into three main categories of resist methods: mechanical, chemical and ikat.
