Assam Silk - Process of Dyeing

Описание: ‪@dsourceindia‬ The largest village in Assam, Sualkuchi, is like a weaver’s paradise. The sobriquet of Sualkuchi, which refers to it as the ‘Silk village’, is reconfirmed the moment one enters the village. As the pale white silk is spun around the Sereki, now it is time to colour the thread. Firstly, water is allowed to be boiled at a very high temperature. Then the acid colour is mixed in another bowl with lukewarm water, and this mixture is poured into the boiling water. Soon after that, the thread, which is previously soaked in water, is dipped into the coloured solution and gently stirred with a spoon so that the colour mixes equally in all parts of the silk. After some time, the thread soaks up the colour, it is taken out and rinsed in cold water. Once the thread takes the colour, it is let out in the sun to dry.
