Description:

Wunderbare Seidenstoffe aus Indien. - Patola saris from Patan are renowned for their colorful diversity and geometrical style. To create a patola sari, both the warp and weft threads are wrapped to resist the dye according to the desired pattern on the final woven fabric. (In other ikat techniques, only the warp or the weft is dyed.) The bundles of thread are strategically knotted before dyeing.
