Frequently Asked Questions About Batik Fabric
Do you pre-wash batik fabrics?
Because of the way batik fabrics are made, it’s wise to pre-wash batik fabrics to test whether or not the dyes used in their creation will run. Most batiks will still contain the wax and dried dyes used during the dyeing process. Most should be hand-washed, but some can be machine washed, so it’s best to assess each fabric individually.
What is Batik Fabric?
Batik is a specialty fabric. Designs in wax are hand-painted by artisans onto cotton or other natural fabrics. The fabrics are then dyed in various colors. The wax protects the color underneath, much like a clear crayon on an Easter egg. The fabric can then be dyed in many patterns and shades to incredible effect! Due to the nature of the process, variations in color and pattern are to be expected, and are considered part of the natural beauty of the fabric. For those hoping to try batik for the first time, we recommend one of our batik precuts.
