                   process is carried out by hand in three stages namely :
                   ( a ) waxing ( application of wax by hand to the fabric);
                   ( b ) dyeing painting ( application of colour either by the traditional cottage method of dyeing or by hand painting);
                   (c) dewaxing ( boiling the fabric to remove the wax ).
                   The three stages of the process are repeated on the fabric for each of the colours or shades of the design .
