1. Introduction
In the 1930s, two technological innovations to decorate adire were developed that provided an avenue for men to gain entrance into the female-controlled industry. Although the women remain the specialist in the dyeing, tying, hand-painting and hand-sewing have done prior to dyeing, but the men are involved in the aspect of decorating techniques using stitching machine and applying starch through zinc stencils. However, the 1960s marked a new period of innovation in handcrafted cloth production in Yorubaland.
With the growing availability of chemical dyes from Europe, there was a revolution in colour and techniques which attracted the Nigerian fashion designers who adapted the designs to print high-quality cloth using imported colour-fast dyes in colours other than indigo. New multi-coloured adire utilized a simple technology and became a backyard industry so that the markets filled with the new adire.
Hot wax or paraffin was substituted for the indigenous cassava paste as a resist agent, and designs were created by simple techniques including tie-dye, folding, crumpling, and randomly sprinkling or splashing the hot wax onto a cloth prior to dyeing. Today the colouring and dye business has gone so popular and is now adopted by non-Nigerians both in Africa and other continents of Africa. Introducing technology to this market
