Dyeing Method

Hot Dyeing

Generally, since denim conventionally is a warp-dyed fabric, we dye the warp yarns in desired colors and use weft in udyed state for making handloom / khadi selvedge denim fabric. As a result of this, the face of the fabric appears to be colored, and the back appears to be white or less colored than the front.

In the case of “fabric dyed” items, the fabric is woven using un-dyed yarn in both warp and weft, to make an off-white / creamish colored cloth. This fabric is then prepared for dyeing.

The dyeing of this fabric is done using colors extracted from various organic waste materials, like marigold petals, eucalyptus leaves, pomegranate rind, onion skins, madder roots, and also the dye extracted from indigo plant.

The dyeing is carried out manually, without using any machinery, and is therefore done in small lots only. In the resulting fabric, the front and back are not very different in color.
