  Boil the Solution
  
  Now pour water in a pan and add some salt. Heat it until it starts bubbling. This will take a few minutes. When the water is boiled, pour the dyeing solution gently into the boiling water, avoiding the powder that has settled down at the bottom of the cup so that it does not pour with the solution. It is better to use a drainer while transferring the dying solution from the cup into the boiling water. Now when the dye is completely transferred into the boiling water, stir with a spatula until the solution is entirely distributed. Let it boil for 5-10 minutes.

  Now with the help of spatula/stirring rods, slowly and gently start dipping the clothe in folds and put one fold at a time into the pan so that the color gets distributed evenly.
  
  Once the entire clothe is added into the pan, keep stirring until it gets the color.
