BANDANA, or BANDANNA

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 311 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BANDANA, or BANDANNA , a word probably derived through the Portuguese from the Hindustani bdndhnu, which signified a primitive method of obtaining an effect in dyeing by tying up
cloth
  in different places to prevent the particular parts from receiving the dye. The name was given to richly coloured
silk
  handkerchiefs produced by this process, of which
bright
 
colours
  were characteristic. Bandanas are now commonly made of
cotton
  and produced in Lancashire, whence they are exported. The effect is also produced by a
regular
  process in
calico
  printing, in which the
pattern
  is made by discharging the colour.
