Method of dyeing fabric (5)

I believe the answer is:

batik

(Other definitions for batik that I've seen before include "Technique of hand-dying using wax" , "Fabric dyeing process" , "Javanese craft" , "Method of dyeing designs on fabric" , "Method of textile patterning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
