Cotton Ikat woven fabric. This gorgeous cotton Ikat is lightweight and airy with a delicate woven pattern of gold and ivory dashes on a yellowy green base. The subtle texture and crisp drape make it perfect for summer garments like a classic button-up, or a breezy jumpsuit - and versatile enough for lightweight robes and layering shirts.
The process of Ikat ('ee-kat') dyeing is an intensive resist technique in which the warp and/or weft yarns are bounded and dyed prior to weaving. This technique creates the unique 'blurry' pattern which remains distinct to the ikat weaving traditions. Due to the handcrafted nature of the fabric, ikat fabrics may include slubs or ties and colour variation within the yardage.
