Dear Nilufar,I've been very busy lately, so I couldn't write when it first arrived, but I wanted to take the time to thank you for the lovely "green comb" scarf. I have become a huge fan of Uzbek ikat thanks to your site, gave the first one as a gift to my mother, who loved it, have recommended the site to a textile-loving friend, and am planning to order lots more from you when I get back to the UK in October! By the way, I'm curious as to what the original Uzbek name for ikat is - I thought ikat was an Indonesian word? And lucky for us, it's a huge fashion trend at the moment!best wishes,
[Nilufar's response to a question part:] Uzbek word for ikat is abr (originally Persian word meaning “a cloud“). However, an Indonesian term ikat is also widely used these days.
