The most dazzling and enchanting craft, which is raising demand and modernization in weaving,

designing their own works. 
Ikkat or Ikat, a weave that is often imbued with a 
kind of magical quality, since the effort and time it 
takes to produce a textile. An Indonesian or Malay 
mengikat, Ikkat, means ‘to tie, to bind’, is an age-old

textile is an element of great value. Basically, an Ikkat 
is a symbol of social status, value, power and 
prestige while its technique is a magic of rarity, 
beauty, 
complexity and 
delicacy. 
Originally, Ikkat 
is a dyeing 
technique 
which was 
largely come 
out of 
technologically unsophisticated cultures and is carried out 
by employing resist dyeing techniques on fibres. The end 
result is a flawless textile with colourful glitters. 
Ikkat is everywhere these days – right from the rituals to 
grand events, accessories to garments, traditional to 
trendy and as modern as anything ancient can ever claim 
to be.
The technique which is known today as Ikkat has a 
royal history when the times that is immemorial. While 
having origins in South East Asia, Central Asia, South 
America and West Africa, Ikkat is also observed in 
Orissa in the ancient 12th century, as per the sources. 
The major equipment required for Ikkat weave are 
fabrics, pick, scissors, dye vats, rubber bands and other 
tying materials that resist dye. Resist dyeing is a dyeing 
technique wherein bindings or substances resisting dye 
penetration are applied over the fibres in pre-determined 
patterns and then dyed. Either cotton or 
silk are used as base fabrics. 
There are different kinds of varieties from different 
regions of India. But the Patan region of Gujarat where 
the weavers are migrated to Orissa, weaves 3 different 
kinds of stuff in Ikkat.

warp with plain weft or resisted weft yarns are inserted 
in plain weft, where combined Ikkat as the name itself, 
has both warp yarns where the weft is being used 
together according to the requirement or different 
parts of the fabric. 
Double Ikkat involves resisting on both warp and weft 
and then interlacing them to form intricate yet well 
composed patterns. 
Traditional motifs of flowers, dancing girl, creepers, 
leafs, parrot, animals, birds, mythological characters 
and geometrical patterns like diamonds, triangles, 
circles, squares, lines etc are beautifully printed onto 
the Ikkat sarees.
