This silk Ikat scarf was hand dyed and hand woven in Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan using a centuries old technique of ikat weaving. The technique requires precision in tying and wrapping silk threads before dying in order to create a desired pattern. Number of times threads will be tied and wrapped depends on the complexity of ikat pattern and number of colors involved in the design.
In addition to depicting a prosperity symbol of almond, this particular scarf also has an illusionary effect of changing colors. This effect was achieved by using different color weft and warp threads and is enriched with silk’s own luster.
