Ikat fabrics from Uzbekistan are renowned for their luxurious appeal, but traditional varieties often require dry cleaning, making them less practical for everyday use. However, some ikat fabrics can be hand-washed.

The purpose of this post is to document our testing of lavender ikat fabric before transforming it into a table runner. Our goal is to ensure that the fabric passes the “hand-washable” test without compromising its handmade luxurious vibrancy and texture.

Thorough Testing Before Crafting the Table Runner:

Before turning our exquisite ikat fabrics into table runners, we ensure they undergo a wash test. This step is essential to guarantee the fabric remains vibrant and intact after washing.

Here’s the Ikat Fabric Washing Test Procedure:

Washing Process:

• Fill a basin with lukewarm water (30°C).

• Add a small amount of mild shampoo or detergent.
• Gently hand wash the fabric without scrubbing.
• Avoid soaking for extended periods.

Rinsing & Water Removal:

• Rinse the fabric thoroughly with clean water.

• Gently squeeze out excess water—do not wring or twist.

Drying Phase:

• Hang the fabric to air dry.

Ironing:

When the ikat fabric is almost dry, iron it while still slightly damp.
