Bellani Pumpkin
Indian Ikat Cotton

A bold ikat cotton in warm rusty tones.

Ikat is 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 done before weaving, the more complicated the pattern.

Suitable for dresses and tops, this cotton is lightweight and soft. Would also be great for large scale cushions that make the most of the bold design.
