IKAT FUROSHIKI


Furoshiki with a double ikat, woven pattern. A Double Ikat is a weaving technique where the warp and the weft are tie-dyed before weaving. This technique leaves a seismographic line on the fabric where the dye has migrated under the ties. This technique requires a lot of skill as both the pattern of the warp and weft have to match.

The furoshiki has sashiko embroidery on the corners
