Tie and dye wrap from Nigeria 10.02.1812
'Adire' refers to a cloth that has been patterned by the technique of resist dyeing with indigo. 'Oniko' refers to the resist dyeing process of tying a pattern onto the cloth prior to dyeing. This effect can be achieved by pressing the finger through the cloth, and then tightly tying this area with cotton or raffia to prevent any dye from entering the area. Pebbles or seeds are also often used to create the same effect.
