Synthrapol is a concentrated detergent used by textile artists and dyers to prep fibers and fabrics for dyeing. It helps remove any residue, grease, or sizing present on the fabric, allowing for more uniform dye penetration and color fastness. It is often used in conjunction with various dyeing techniques such as tie-dyeing and immersion dyeing.
Resist dyeing is used to create patterns on fabrics by applying a substance that blocks the dye from coloring the fabric in certain areas. This technique is commonly used in various traditional textile arts such as batik, tie-dye, and shibori to achieve unique and intricate designs. Resist dyeing allows for intricate patterning and designs to be created with vibrant colors.
