Origin & Technique:
Mulmul is a type of woven cotton fabric that is soft, light and breathable with a smooth finish. It is a great choice for summers as it quickly absorbs moisture and keeps you at ease and becomes softer with every wash.
- Origin – Mulmul is a soft and fine weave of cotton which is also known as muslin, that was first made by Bengali weavers many hundred years ago. This fabric was one of the prized imports from India to England and Scotland.
- Technique - Hand blocking is an ancient method of textile printing, renowned for it's exotic designs in vibrant colors on fabric. In this method, wooden blocks carved with intricate details are used to manually print beautiful designs that usually cover the entire length of a fabric. Block printing can be carried out beautifully on a variety of fabrics but most suitable match is cotton or cotton linen. The characteristics of these fabrics have a specially affinity towards different types of dyes and pigments. Block-printing craft is practiced in two states of India - Gujarat and Rajasthan.
- Bagru is known around the world for natural coloured hand block printing, natural dyeing, indigo dyeing, mud block print, and mud tie dye.
Indigo Dyeing - The cool sunken vat, called MATH, is reserved for Indigo Dyeing which imparts shades of blue. The vat is dug about 2 meters deep into the ground and is filled with indigo, lime, molasses and water. The dyer may dip the cloth several times for a deeper shade of blue or dry it for further Dabu printing to retain light blue and then later re dye it.
