Hand Loomed Ikat Short Sleeve Shirt - Peanut Brown

Ikat is a method of resist dyeing in which the yarns are dyed before they are woven into a fabric, resulting in unique and intricate patterns.

The process of making ikat fabric involves carefully tying and dyeing the yarns in specific areas to create patterns or designs. These tied areas resist the dye, creating a distinctive blurred effect when the yarns are woven together. The patterns in ikat can range from simple geometric shapes to more complex motifs and designs, often influenced by the culture and traditions of the region where it is produced.

Wearing an ikat shirt not only showcases a unique and visually captivating textile, but it also honors the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the communities that produce these fabrics.
