"Kaleidoscope" red ikat silk scarf

Silk ikat scarf in a passionate red color with ends of the scarf in a cheerful kaleidoscope ikat pattern. 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 red 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). This is a purely artisanal work - silk scarf, hand dyed and handloom woven.
