Sungudi

Sungudi cotton making is a traditional craft originating from the town of Chinnalapatti in Tamil Nadu, India.Here's a simplified overview of how Sungudi cotton sarees are made:

High-quality cotton fabric is washed and prepared for the dyeing process. Skilled artisans tie small portions of the fabric with thread in specific patterns or designs. These tied portions resist the dye, creating the desired motifs. The tied fabric is immersed in dye baths, where the untied portions absorb the dye, while the tied portions remain undyed. This process is repeated with different colors to achieve multi-colored designs.After dyeing, the fabric is sun-dried to set the colors and ensure vibrancy.Once the fabric is dried, the tied threads are carefully removed, revealing the intricate patterns created by the tie-and-dye technique.
