Ikat fabrics

Beautiful collection of geometric Ikat weaves. Ikat fabrics are made by yarn dye process before the yarn is woven into fabric

IKAT-the resist is formed by binding individual yarns or bundles of yarns with a tight wrapping applied in the desired pattern. The yarns are then dyed. The bindings may then be altered to create a new pattern and the yarns dyed again with another color. This process may be repeated multiple times to produce elaborate, multicolored patterns. When the dyeing is finished all the bindings are removed and the yarns are woven into cloth
