Question

Ikats of Orissa, Patan Patolas of Gujarat and Pochampally of Telangana are examples of .......... dyeing technique.

• A. Resist
• B. Garment
• C. Stock
• D. Piece

Hint:

Resist dyeing protects parts of yarn/fabric to create multicolored designs, common in ikat, tie-dye, and batik traditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: What is resist dyeing? 
Resist dyeing is a traditional technique where parts of yarns or fabrics are shielded from dye penetration using wax, ties, or bindings. This prevents dye from coloring certain areas, producing beautiful patterns. 
Step 2: Understanding Ikat, Patola, Pochampally. 
- Ikat: Yarns are tie-dyed in specific patterns before weaving, producing blurred-edged motifs. 
- Patan Patola (Gujarat): A world-famous double-ikat, where both warp and weft threads are resist-dyed before weaving. 
- Pochampally (Telangana): Known for geometric ikat patterns achieved through resist dyeing of yarns. 
Step 3: Why not other options. 
- Garment dyeing: Done after garment construction, not resist. 
- Stock dyeing: Involves dyeing raw fibers, unrelated to resist techniques. 
- Piece dyeing: Dyeing fabric after weaving, not resist. 
Step 4: Conclusion. 
All given examples (Ikat, Patola, Pochampally) belong to resist dyeing techniques.
