Comet Ikat Cotton

An ikat weave in grey with a orange and black dash motif. Suitable for dresses, tops, shirts, and looser fitting trousers or shorts.

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 irregularities and these are not considered flaws.
