Cotton Silk Clamp Clamp Dye Fabric - Red & Black

At Charkha Tales, we celebrate fabrics that carry movement, colour, and the quiet beauty of handwork. This Red & Black Cotton Silk Clamp Dye Fabric brings together a rich colour story and a time-honoured resist-dye technique in a fabric that feels both elegant and easy to wear.

Clamp dyeing is a traditional method where the fabric is folded, clamped, and dyed by hand to create bold, organic patterns. No two pieces are ever the same. The interplay of red and black adds depth and drama, while the hand-dyed marks tell a story of patience and skill. Crafted in a cotton silk blend, the fabric balances comfort with a soft sheen...breathable like cotton, refined like silk.

Lightweight and fluid, this fabric drapes beautifully and feels comfortable for long hours. The cotton silk blend allows easy movement while holding colour and form gracefully. Subtle variations in the pattern are a hallmark of the handmade process and add to the fabric’s character.

This fabric is ideal for creating sarees, dupattas, kurtas, dresses, or statement panels. It also works well for festive stoles or elegant overlays. Pair it with solids or textured neutrals to let the pattern stand out, or style it with handcrafted jewellery for a rooted, expressive look.

True to Charkha Tales’ slow fashion values, this fabric supports artisan livelihoods and encourages thoughtful choices over mass-produced textiles—made to be worn, cherished, and revisited.
