Which fabrics and colours are most popular with customers, and sell the most?
Cotton, silk, and wool are the most popular fabrics for tie and dye products because they are natural fibres that absorb dye well and can withstand multiple rounds of tying and dyeing. Popular colours include yellow (from turmeric), pink/red (from beetroot), blue (from indigo or blue hibiscus), green (from spinach), and brown (from tea/coffee). Traditional Bandhani uses natural dyes made from plants and spices.
Explanation
The chapter states that Bandhani is usually done on cotton, silk, and wool. Natural dyes can be made from beetroot (pink/red), turmeric (yellow), spinach (green), blue hibiscus (blue), and tea/coffee (brown). These natural fibre fabrics are strong enough to undergo multiple rounds of tying and dyeing.
