Ikat

Ikat is a unique dyeing technique used in textiles, where patterns are created by dyeing threads before they are woven into fabric. The threads are bound in specific areas to resist dye, resulting in intricate designs that appear both on the warp (lengthwise) and weft (crosswise) threads. This method is traditionally used in various cultures around the world, producing vibrant and colorful fabrics. Ikat is notable for its distinctive, blurred patterns, which arise from the careful process of tying and dyeing the yarns, showcasing both artistic skill and cultural significance in textile production.
