“Need To Know About Ikat“

The narrow width of ikat fabrics makes it well-suited for table runners, pillow covers, as well as window treatments, bed scarves, and more. This playful mix of colours will be a fun addition to a range of decorating styles from traditional to modern. 

The example of the handwoven Bokharan ikat texture may illustrate the complexities of labour in the silk weaving trade. Bokhara is one of several in which weaving is a common occupation. Most people specialized in weaving silk fabrics such as ikat. Non-migrant, “Old Bokharans” who claim Uzbek descent are living in both Uzbek and Irani-dominated neighbourhoods and they weave both pure silk and half-silk ikat fabrics. There is also an Abr-bandi or ikat-binding workshop for the production of ikat warps in a Tadjik neighbourhood. In a very mixed neighbourhood of mostly Tadjiks and Farsi that includes many all-silk ikat weavers, there is a dyeing establishment that employed both Jewish and non-Jewish dyers.

It is apparent that not only silk weaving but even such specialized activities as half-silk and all-silk ikat production is not limited to a single ethnic group. Weavers of Uzbek descent tend to produce cotton wefted half-silk fabrics. So did weavers who call themselves Tadjiks and “Old Bukharans” Irani and Farsi settlers are more likely to be the weavers of all-silk fabrics. While Jewish and Chala weavers make exceptionally light and fine silk kerchiefs and shawls.
