White on navy ikat weave. 113cm wide.

Square size 2 x 1.5cm.

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. Ikat cloths are prone to slubs and often have ties in the cloth where one weaver ends and another begins, the ties will be on the wrong side of the cloth and we will endeavour to point this out on your packing slip if we see any. These are not flaws.

Suitable for dresses, tops, shirts, and looser fitting trousers or shorts.

Cottontail Navy is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Bantam and Heron.
