Q1. What is Ikat weave?
Ans. Ikat weave is the method of colouring fabric/ textiles by resisting dyeing. In this type of weaving, patterns or designs are not applied to the fabric surfaces or are woven structurally. Instead, parts of the yarn to be used are protected with a ‘resist’ before being dyed.
Q2. How are pure handloom stoles woven?
Ans. Handloom is an age-old technique to weave various kinds of garments. To elaborate, a handloom is a machine operated by hand, used for weaving, as evident from the name. Through the heddle, different kinds of warp threads are passed such that a wide variety of designs and patterns can be created. Handloom stoles are also woven using several lines to create beautiful patterns.
