The hallmark of Indian artistic excellence is best reflected in the crafts of India. The crafts of the culture of India are undeniably charismatic, unique, and sublime. Every handcraft has a deep-rooted history attached to it. Among many others, you’ll find yourself getting mesmerized by the intricacy of Ikat.
Ikat craft exudes a symphony of divine details which are hand imprinted by the brilliant craftsmen of India. It is a perfect balance of labor, passion, creativity, and subtlety. Ikat has heartily made its way into the wardrobes of both men and women, in one form or the other. Even though it is created using the resist tie & dye technique, yet it is quite distinctive from other crafts that are done using tie & dye. In this, the yarns are dyed and not the fabric. The dyed yarns are then used to create the pattern on the fabric which is why you’ll see similar patterns on both sides of the fabric. It is performed in three ways, that is, with wrap, weft and then double ikat which is done using both the warp and weft and is the most difficult form of Ikat.
Double Ikat is also the most expensive and intricately detailed form of Ikat prints due to the extensive labor and time that goes into creating it. This form of weaving requires the most skill for precise patterns to be woven and is considered the premium form of ikat.
