Woven Wizardry

Ikat is an extremely tricky process which produces a unique fabric. Most other fabrics are woven and then dyed, but in ikat the threads are dyed before being woven into cloth. Threads are bundled, tied with a dye–resistant material, and then dyed. The process can be repeated for more colors and complexity. For single ikat only the warp threads undergo this treatment, and the weft are left natural or dyed a solid color. In double ikat both warp and weft threads are bundled and dyed. The goal is to have a planned design come together in the woven piece. If successful, ikat produces designs with a characteristic feathery edge. This look is so prized it is often copied on machine–printed cloth, but there is no substitute for the real thing.

It's got POCKETS!!!
Nov 12, 2024  |  By Therry
I've been dressing with Marketplace India since the early 1990s, and I love their new patchwork pants! But you always need a good top to go with perfect pants, and This particular top is IT. I love the embroidery, the length of the top and the wonderful strong neutral colors. My only problem is that I have to push my unusually large head through the slightly too small neck. And my head is 23 7/8. so I doubt the slightly too small neck opening is going to bother anybody else! As always, the garment washes beautifully, holds its shape, and just looks ridiculously good on a old broad who loves to dress in clothes that give women in another culture independence, a good work environment, and her own money. You cannot go wrong with Marketplace India!
