"Ikat Stripes Due" silk ikat scarf

This is 100% silk scarf hand dyed and hand woven in Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan. Depending on your view angle the color of this scarf changes. This change of colors is achieved by using different color warp and weft threads, something that we call "chameleon" effect.

This silk Ikat scarf was made using a centuries old technique of ikat weaving. Ikat is term of Indonesian origin adopted around the world to describe a technique of tying and wrapping silk threads before dying in order to create a desired design. In Uzbekistan this technique is known as abr technique (Persian, abr = cloud).
