Indian Ikat Cotton

An unusual ikat pattern made up of white circles with red middle and a sawtooth style shape in white and yellow with dark navy base.

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.
