Mudmee weaving techniques have their origins in sacred textiles once used in ancient ceremonies, most likely Hindu in nature. It is thought to have orginated in India in the 5th century B.C.

Mudmee wrap skirts have persisted to indicate a woman's belonging to a particular group in rural Thai society. The refinement and opulence of the weave defines the wearer's socioeconomic status in the village.

Mudmee is a subset of resist dying technique. The name Mudmee means "Not being colored" when translated in English. The Mudmee dying process employs dye-resistant materials to block the penetration of dyes into selected areas of the pre-woven threads of silk. The process is repeated with every color of the pattern, working from light to darker dyes.
