<p>Handprinted Batik Wax is a blended wax made from 80% paraffin and 20% beeswax, commonly used in batik, one of the oldest forms of textile surface decoration.</p><p>The hot wax is applied using a traditional tool called a tjanting, allowing for precise lines and intricate patterns. The wax resists dye, protecting selected areas of the fabric while the rest is colored. Typically, the cloth is dyed in the lightest shade first, then dried and re-waxed before being dyed in progressively darker tones. This layered process can be repeated multiple times to build up rich color and detailed designs.</p>
