Ikat, or Ikkat, is a dyeing technique
wherein bindings or substances resisting dye penetration are applied over the
fibres in pre-determined patterns and then the threads are dyed. Alteration of
bindings and using more than one colour for dyeing produces multi-coloured
thread effect. Removal of the bindings and the subsequent weaving of the
threads would form the desired pattern woven in the fabric. The determining characteristic of ikat is
the dyeing of patterns, by means of bindings, on the threads prior to the
weaving of the fabric. More the precision in the application of the resist
bindings, finer would be the pattern formed.
Weft ikat is preferred when it is the
overall picture that is important and not the precision of the patterns. Double
ikkat is even rarer and an example is the Patan Patola of Gujarat. Lesser
accurate or poor imitation double ikkat versions are available in the
market. The artistic excellence of ikat prints can
be gauged from its traditional motifs of flowers, dancing girl, creepers,
leafs, parrot, animals, birds, mythological characters and geometrical
patterns. Most of the ikkat printed sarees have repeated geometrical patterns
of diamonds (rattan chowk), circles, squares, lines etc.
