Dyeing process (5)
I believe the answer is:
batik
'dyeing process' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for batik that I've seen before include "Method of dyeing designs on fabric" , "Asian material" , "Fabric patterning method" , "Eastern method of printing textiles" , "Indonesian cloth designs" .)
