READ MORE ABOUT TIEDYE (THIGMA)
Thigma, the local term for resist-dyeing on woollen cloth is a derivative of the word thitoo. Practiced largely in the Nubra valley region, this technique involves pinching parts of the cloth and tightly binding them with thread. The cloth is then dyed in natural colors made of apple bark and onion peels (for light browns), soot (for light grey), a root known as chutza (for yellow) and yet another root called chzot (for pink). When the ties are finally removed, they reveal a pattern created by the folds of the cloth called Thigma.
