Fashion wrap shawl handmade by artisans from India. Tie dye shawls of ShalinCraft come from Kutch region of Gujarat. These shawls are made of rough wool. The main colors used in the tie dye of this region are yellow, green, red and back - lighter colors are always dyed before the darker ones. The cloth may be the finest silk (the best tie dye is done on silk, for the weddings of the Khatri dyers' own daughters) or rough wool, but usually it is very permeable muslin which is folded in four before the tying process commences. This is supervised by the head of the family, but all the members, including the women and children, are involved. Those who actually tie the cloth grow a long nail on the little finger of the left hand, or wear a ring with a little blunt spike on it, with which they push the layers of cloth upwards from underneath to form a tiny peak. Some details of coloring are spot dyed: yellow dots are often daubed with blue to make green, for example. Dyers in Kutch and Saurashtra commonly work with three or four different dye baths. The workers of Saurashtra origin generally produce patterns of fine spiraling dots in a single color on a deep red ground.
