Tie-Dye with Fabric Dye Made of Natural Ingredients | My Gambia | My Magazine

The traditional technique of fabric dyeing called tie-dye has been practised for several centuries in The Gambia. Before the introduction of chemical dye, people used natural products to extract colours used to create colourful fabrics with different patterns of uncoloured space designed by various types of material tying and dipping it to the colour mixture.
Traditional tie-dye products and materials are still seen in the Gambian markets like Serrekunda, Brikama and Basse. The Gambians wear traditionally dyed clothes to their celebrations, like the naming and wedding ceremony. The Sarahulis and the Bambaras are the ethnic groups associated with dyeing in The Gambia.
