Mudmee

Mudmee

Mudmee originated in Thailand and it's neighbouring region Laos. In this technique subdued coloursare used, it is normally done on a black background. This technique of mudmee uses natural dyes. Now only handfull of people continue to practice this kind of tie and dye technique.
It has a combination of shapes. The use of black dye gives an unnatura/unusual tone on the fabric.
This tie and dye technique uses mudmee silk.

ZhaRam

Zha Ram

It has a simple and ancient taste. It has a very subtle variation of colour. Its non copyable characterstic is that its pattern is naturally formed. Patterns are formed by needle, thread and skill. First the pattern is stitched and then dyed then the thread is trimmed.
