BATIK

Not available

Hand-dyed fabric" points to batik, a traditional method where wax is applied to cloth before dyeing to create intricate patterns. The wax resists the dye, leaving some areas colored while others stay untouched, which is why it’s called hand-dyed—the process is often done by hand. Batik is especially well-known in Indonesian and African textile traditions, making it a fitting answer for a fabric-related clue.
