Charcoal scrollwork curls across a strong yellow ground, the forms hooking into one another the whole length of the cover. Yellow is the hardest colour to get even in a warp dye, which is why it is the least common in the bolster run.

Where it goes
One bright piece against a grey or white sofa is usually enough; it also suits a dark wooden daybed. See the rest of the ikat bolster covers, or the shorter lumbar cushion covers in the same cloth.
How this ikat is made
The pattern is tied and dyed into the warp threads before a single row is woven — abrbandi, the cloud-binding. On a cover this long you see the repeat run its full course rather than framed in a square, and every soft edge is the dye finding its way past a tie. The cloth is handwoven in Margilan, in the Fergana Valley; the cover is cut and sewn in our own workshop in Bukhara.
