How is ikat fabric made?
1 Answer

How ikat fabric is made depends on the material. Traditionally, a weaver hand-draws the pattern onto the warp and weft and then ties yarns on the loom, following the pattern. With mass-produced fabric, computer-aided manufacturing software typically guides the process. Shop a range of ikat fabric apparel and textiles on 1stDibs.
