Design transferred onto threads
Parts to not be dyed are bound tightly with plastic
Thread is dyed, air dried, then some areas are untied to be dyed again
Ties removed from the dyed thread
I wanted to look at the preparation process for ikat and that in itself is quite beautiful and interesting before it is even woven, and involves many skills from different people often in different villages.
