[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 188403, member: 18224"] So in preparation for when I take Amrit, I have started to learn to tie a keski on my own and managed to actually have it stay on! You can view the result here: [url]http://imageshack.us/a/img203/8002/u68r.jpg[/url] and [url]http://imageshack.us/a/img843/2308/0c4r.jpg[/url] (I didn't actually post the pics themselves because I know we are not supposed to post pics of ourselves now) Anyway I had a few questions... 1. I got white turban material. I was told wash it first to make it easier to tie. So I did. I think they were careless though with the material because there are some stains on it!!! Is it ok to wash with some bleach to make it bright white and clean looking?? 2. Is ironing it ok? 3. The material was brand new and stiff... so I couldn't get it as tight as I felt it should be. Will the material stretch a bit and become a little more pliable the more I practice with it?? 4. The method I used was from a YT vid and a style 3HO use. I didn't tie their style but I prepared the material like she did. Where I cut the material half width and then half width again so I had a very very long 10" wide strip (roughly) and 10M long. Then I folded it in half so it was double and 5" wide. Thinner strip made it much easier to work with. I don't know if this is a common way to do it, but anything thicker and I fumble with the material too much! lol. Is this method ok? The actual style doesn't matter so much does it? Because I see so many styles on the guys already!! 5. Not turban related really but, while at home I know some people just tie a small house turban / keski and some people just wear a patka at home... would something like this be permissible as a head covering?
