A really unique chequered Ikat weave with red and dark brown stars on a background of olive green and off white. Suitable for dresses, tops, shirts, and looser fitting trousers. This fabric is a lovely choice for pillows and home goods too.
Ikat is a resist dyeing technique where the threads used for weaving are dyed beforehand. The Ikat threads are bound in a pattern so that the threads covered by the binding 'resist' the dye, creating a design. The more binding done before weaving, the more complicated the pattern.
