Known locally as “jia ran” (夹染), or “zha ran” 扎染, this intricate process begins with carefully
hand-spun cotton cloth, which is folded, stitched, and tightly bound to create patterns, with pebbles
placed underneath
Natural Blue grass dye is used to achieve the vibrant blues where each piece is the result of patient
labor, ancestral techniques, and symbolic motifs that often represent good fortune, nature, or local
folklore.
