Indian Ikat Cotton
Olive green and tan soft ikat cotton.
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.
Suitable for shirts, tops, skirts and dresses. We would make an Omilie top or an All state shirt. Also would be beautiful in the home for lightweight cushions or curtains.
