Tritik

Tritik, or stitch resist, is a resist dyeing technique in which a line of stitches is gathered tightly before dyeing, creating a negative design in the dyed fabric.[1] It is similar to the Japanese resist technique shibori. Traditionally two hand stitches are used for tritik: running stitch and whip stitch.[2] Because the dye pattern is formed by stitching, it can be highly controlled, and needle holes that may remain in the fabric add to the visual interest of the piece.[2] Resist dyeing with tritik stitching is seen in many parts of the world including Southeast Asia and Africa, and South America.[3][4][5]
