Ajrakh Cotton Fabric
From Heritage Trading Company
Formulas for the dyes, resist pastes,
cleaning and softening solutions, and mordants are secret and thus vary from family to family. Even
the steps in the dying process will vary between workshops. One author has documented 14 steps
required for producing a typical ajrakh cloth. Some of these steps must be repeated several
times. The process includes cleaning and softening the cloth prior to printing, followed by multiple applications of
mordants, resists, and dyes using wooden blocks, and immersion of the fabric
into vats of dye.
