Wannich Ikat Thai Silk Scarf
Ikat is an Indonesian word but this fascinating dyeing technique is found all over the world. Yarn is tie-dyed before being put on the loom, resulting in streaks of white or other colors in underlying field. The weaver knows exactly how the scarf will look before the yarn is even put on the loom.
The Wannich Ikat shawl is a combination of heavily-textured silk yarns against a background of delicate, glossy silk thread. Both have the telltale streaks of ikat dyeing. This artisan piece is one textile that will be noticed whether it's draped across your shoulders or knotted beneath your chin for a blustery winter day.
