Natural fabric dyeing can be done using a variety of techniques. These methods may be used individually or combined to create unique colors, patterns, and effects.
Because natural dyes generally produce soft and subtle tones, the dyeing process often needs to be repeated several times to achieve richer and more vibrant colors.
Some commonly used natural dyeing techniques include:
- Immersion dyeing (dip dyeing)
- Squeeze dyeing
- Pounding
- Steam dyeing
- Boiling
- Earth dyeing (burying the fabric in soil)
