Workers hang freshly dyed threads on a wooden structure as they are being dried in the sunshine in Narayanganj, Bangladesh. Hundreds of colorful threads create a palette of colours as workers hang the dyed sheets out to dry. The threads take a whole day to dry and stretch for hundreds of metres. Once dried, they are sold to wholesale markets. Each row of threads holds the value of just £2. The workers spend 12 hours in the fields during this process, earning £5 per day. Bangladesh.
