This beautiful navy and rust Ikat weave is made using a resist dyeing technique where the threads used for weaving are dyed beforehand. The Ikat threads are bound in a pattern so that the threads covered by the binding 'resist' the dye, creating a design. The more binding that is done before weaving, the more complicated the pattern. Suitable for dresses, tops, shirts, and looser fitting trousers.

Sold by the half yard. Fabric will be ripped to ensure straight lines, but we will include a few extra inches on either side for squaring up.
