Hand-dyed refers to the process of coloring fabrics, yarns, or other materials using dyes applied by hand rather than through industrial methods. This technique allows for unique patterns and color variations, as artisans can control the dye application, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces. Hand-dyed items are often sought after for their individuality and craftsmanship. The hand-dyeing process can involve various techniques, such as tie-dye, batik, or shibori. Each method produces distinct effects and textures. Artisans may use natural dyes derived from plants or synthetic dyes, depending on the desired outcome. Hand-dyed products are popular in textiles, fashion, and crafts.
