The ancient cities of Central Asia, located along the northern Silk Road, have been famous for the production of luxurious weaving for centuries. As for ikats, their main production began in Bukhara and spread to Samarkand, and then to the Fergana Valley. Furthermore, Bukhara was a centre of manufacture of high-quality silky fabrics consumed primarily by numerous feudal aristocrats and exported to other regions. Subsequently, Cotton ikat became one of the most demanded textiles in many other countries.
The wide width of the fabric makes it perfect for table runners, pillow covers, window treatments, bed scarves, and more. This vivid mix of colours will be a fun addition to a variety of decorative styles, from traditional to modern.
