Indian Cotton – Stormy Blue Ikat

Indigo blue and white ikat weave. A summer weight dressmaking cotton. Suitable for breezy tops, dresses and loose fitting trousers. 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.
