Centuries old, this ethnic pattern was originally made by dying either just the horizontal (or just the vertical) thread. It was dyed PRIOR to weaving...thus you can imagine the challenge to weave in that pattern! Or, sometimes, something called resist dying was used to produce the wonderful Ikat. Here, wax or paste was applied to the blank cloth to prevent the dye from reaching all the fibers. The dye would seep under the resist, and this is what gives Ikat its characteristically blurred edges. The related flame cloth is Ikat's cousin, born in Bali. ![]() | |||||
