This technique is more complex than traditional tie-and-dye because it employs ‘resist dyeing’ the yarns prior to the weaving process. Individual yarns or bundles of yarns are tightly wrapped together to obtain the desired patterns. The bindings can be altered to create an alternate new pattern. The 'blurriness' in the design, lends a unique aesthetic to ikat. Colors: Blue. Production Method : Handweaving/Handmade. Hidden Details: Concealed zip closure.
