Tie and dye are type of resist dyeing, which involves tying the cloth and making manipulations before dyeing them. These manipulations are called resists and prevent the applied colour from coloring the fabric. The uniqueness of tie and dye lies in producing rich visual effects of colors on the fabric through “tying” and “dyeing” the fabric. The art of tie and dye has survived the passage of time and is practiced around the globe even today. In this research two different products like wall hanging and pot holders are created using macramé technique. The cords used are tie and dyed.
