About our Fabrics
Batik
is the process of resist dying, by which fabric is decorated by
drawing lines in wax to protect parts of cloth from colouring in
the dye bath.The process can be repeated with a number of subsequent
waxings and dye baths leaving a complex pattern of motifs in a variety
of colours. Originally batik was waxed by hand with a canting, a
wax pen. This form is known as batik tulis, meaning to write with
wax. Because this method was so time consuming, caps or copper stamps
were developed to apply the wax to the cloth in the 19th century
to allow for mass produced fabrics Traditionally this was all done
by hand, but these days there are various levels of mechanisation
is involved.
Modern Batik
Hand Dyed fabrics
of the modern Batiks were introduced to Western Quilters up to 30
years ago but have been taken to our hearts and hands more recently
and are used and promoted all over the world. The fabrics are printed
using a Cap or Copper stamp to apply the wax pattern to the fabric
,dyed and then washed all by hand. View

patterns fall into two categories one on geometric pattern and the
other freely designed with no symmetry. They are often printed with
a stamp and fine work done with a canting these come in different
widith spouts for creating thinner and thicker lines.The colours
are more muted and earthy than those used in Modern Batik. View

Ikat
Ikat fabric is created
by a hand weaving technique where the pattern is dyed in a series
of two or more colours, on to the warp or weft threads prior to
the material being woven so that when woven creates a soft geometric
pattern. Traditionally natural dyes in harmonious, toning colours
were used .Today the dyes can be as bright as many printed fabrics
and the thread used can be cotton,silk,or a combination of both
this produces a special sheen.View
