A 1909 Craftsman article by Professor C. E. Pellew of Columbia University describing tied-and-dyed (tie-resist) work, an ancient Indian process, and how it can be adapted with modern sulphur and vat dyes. It covers the Rajputana and Kotah Chunari tradition, the general resist, discharge and direct-application methods, and practical tying techniques using marbles, loops and folds. It also describes the author's own "tied and discharged" experiments with bleaching powder and a four-color silk scarf built up by successive dye baths. Illustrated with photographs of dyed samples.
