Ikat – a traditional weaving technique which requires that the
yarn is pre-dyed according to the pattern and then woven. Just imagine how complicated
that could be? Now multiply by atleast a million. Seriously.
I visited a master weavers home for a project I am working on
and saw these lovelies. These are commonly known as pochampally saris coz they
are woven in a place called pochampally. For more gyan you can click here and here.
In the shopping bag: A mangalgiri cotton sari from him for Rs 750 and
kalamkari blouse material for Rs 150 from Nalli’s. Will post the pictures
later, once it is all ready to wear.
Ikat is quite fashionable right now and can be seen on the ramp pretty often. I had picked up a really smart top in various hues of pink from Westside sometime last year. It's quite easy to find!
