Kilol Print & Dabu Hand Block Print Process
Kilol’s rapid print method ensures the sharp detailing of traditional floral motifs, bringing out the beauty of Dabu printing in a more refined way.
Dabu printing is a mud-resist technique that involves:
Applying a special mud paste (made of wheat powder, gum, and lime) to certain parts of the fabric using wooden blocks.
Sprinkling sawdust over the paste, which acts as a resist.
Dyeing the fabric in natural colors, where the mud-covered areas remain uncolored.
Washing off the mud paste, revealing intricate resist-printed floral patterns.
This process creates earthy, organic designs that stand out against the vibrant background, making each saree unique and one-of-a-kind.
Caring & Washing Instructions
Hand wash in cold water with mild soap.
Avoid soaking the saree for too long to prevent natural dye bleeding.
Dry in shade and avoid direct sunlight to retain its vibrancy.
Use a steam iron at a low setting to maintain fabric softness.
