Crackles are the fine veins that may or may not be coloured; running through the outlines or certain areas of design in a piece of batik. It was once considered a sign of inferior batik in the olden days, especially on indigo coloured batik but acceptable on other colour such as brown. However, it has already evolved to be a much appreciated characteristic associated with fine handmade batik. This effect is rendered through folding, crushing, freezing or utilizing any method that breaks up an area or the outlines of uninterrupted dried wax in the design. It happens before placing the cloth in the last dye bath. By doing so, the crackle that is synonymous with handcrafted batik is produced. This technique is to give effect to the Batik.
