TIE-AND-DYE
A method of dyeing yarns introduced by the hand-loom weavers of ancient times. Before placing in the dye liquor knots are tied in the yarn at intervals which are arranged to match a design in the warp. This method is still used in India and other parts of the East, especially with silk yarns. Also known as Gujrati dyeing (see Bandana Dyeing)
