Woven Wizardry

Ikat is an extremely tricky process which produces a unique fabric. Most other fabrics are woven and then dyed, but in ikat the threads are dyed before being woven into cloth. Threads are bundled, tied with a dye–resistant material, and then dyed. The process can be repeated for more colors and complexity. For single ikat only the warp threads undergo this treatment, and the weft are left natural or dyed a solid color. In double ikat both warp and weft threads are bundled and dyed. The goal is to have a planned design come together in the woven piece. If successful, ikat produces designs with a characteristic feathery edge. This look is so prized it is often copied on machine–printed cloth, but there is no substitute for the real thing.

Comfy Dress
May 8, 2024  |  By Kathy M
This is a really comfy dress - very cool on a warm sticky evening. Embroidery is very pretty. The only thing I found odd (and hence the 4 stars) is the pockets are set in a weird way. It feels like you're reaching backwards to get into them. Strange. Never had this problem with any other garment from Marketplace and I order a lot!
