Dyeing method using wax (5)

I believe the answer is:

batik

(Other definitions for batik that I've seen before include "Material printed on" , "Eastern method of printing textiles" , "Fabric printing process" , "Method of dyeing designs on fabric" , "Javanese craft" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
