How it is made

Warp and weft are tied and resist-dyed separately, then aligned on the loom so the two patterns meet. They never meet exactly, and that soft blur is how you tell a real ikat from a print.

Pochampally ikat in indigo, its stepped diamond motifs feathering where warp meets weft. — The swatch, shot flat at the same distance as the other six.
