Background:
This craft has been in the Egyptian culture since the ancient days enabling our craftsmen to inherit the talent and create this blue pastel coverlet. The cotton yarns are primarily stretched out then the handloom weavers draw lines across the yarn, indicating the chosen pattern that will become the final design on the fabric. Rubber bindings or ties are placed on the yarn according to the markings. The yarn is then dyed with the initial base color. This gives artisans their first glimpse at the pattern they have created with the dye. The yarn is then stretched out on poles in the sun to dry. Sun is very important in this process, as it allows the yarn to dry naturally without any shrinkage or fading of the dye.
