Batik Fabrics

Our selection of fabulous, rich, sumptuous Batiks fabrics and hand dyes from leading manufacturers is below. Our Batik fabrics charm pack contains 40 different Batiks and is a great way of sampling our range. Batik is a Javanese word and can derive from amba ('to write') and titik ('dot'). The batik process refers to a dye technique using a wax resist. Wax designs are drawn on the fabric and then it is soaked in a particular colour with the wax resisting the dye. Boiling water is then applied to remove the wax and another design can be applied and then dyed if mutiple colours are required. Although Batik fabrics are most associated with Java, other Indonesian islands also are associated with producing Batiks.
