Ikat Melody Indian Cotton

Suitable for dresses, tops, shirts, and looser fitting trousers or shorts. We would make a Winnies Pajamas set.

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.

• 100% Cotton
• Approximate width: 44" (114cm)
• Pattern repeat - 16cm
• Circle - 5cm
• For the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.
• As these Indian cloths are handmade, they are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave or print. This is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
