A traditional method of weaving fabric, patola weaving follows the double ikat resist-dyeing method, in which both the warp and weft are both resist-tied and dyed before the weaving begins. Patola are known for their rich colours and patterns and sharply defined motifs, which are achieved through the meticulous preparation of warp and weft threads, followed by resist-dyeing and, finally, weaving.
Catalogue Published in conjunction with the "Voyage of A Cloth' exhibition (Jakarta 1988), this book celebrates the double-ikat silk fabric in which both warp and weft are separately tie-dyed before weaving. It is the acme of the weaver's skill.
