Ikat is a style of weaving that uses a tie-dye process on the warp threads before the threads are woven to create a pattern or design. Handwoven in Uzbekistan, this ancient traditional method of weaving practiced throughout central Asia has changed little over the centuries. Ikat weaving is a laborious and time highly skilled process that requires hand tie dying with natural dyes and then weaving by hand to both traditional and contemporary patterns.
