On our way to cache 2 we discovered a traditional Balinese weaver. Here they grow their own cotton (white and brown) and the plants used to produce the dyes. Once the cotton is picked it is submerged in the dye for at least 5 weeks or more (didn't smell too good!). It is then hung to be dried and then spun.
