Exquisite and unique ikat design

Ikat is a popular dyeing technique, which ties the untied threads into a bunch by employing grass or cotton, which is wax treated. Under ikat technique the weaver has to decide where should the dye set in among the loose threads and where the dye should be restrained from setting. It is with the help of this method that the weavers get a suitable pattern when the threads are conclusively woven on a loom. The complication increases when more colours are used to form pattern.
