Lightweight summer-weight cotton, semi-sheer with a soft drape. Suitable for tops, dresses, skirts, and loose trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"422\" data-start=\"182\"\u003eWhat is ikat? Ikat is a \u003cem data-end=\"230\" data-start=\"222\"\u003eresist\u003c\/em\u003e dyeing technique where the threads are tied and dyed before the fabric is woven. The tied sections do not absorb the dye, creating a pattern. The pattern becomes more intricate with more extensive tying. Ikat is an international weaving technique – known as \u003cem data-end=\"1172\" data-start=\"1164\"\u003ekasuri\u003c\/em\u003e in Japan, \u003cem data-end=\"1190\" data-start=\"1182\"\u003epatola\u003c\/em\u003e in India, and \u003cem data-end=\"1213\" data-start=\"1205\"\u003emat mi\u003c\/em\u003e in Thailand. This particular fabric is handcrafted Indian ikat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"422\" data-start=\"182\"\u003eIndigo dyeing is natural and eco-friendly — it requires less water consumption than most other dyeing methods. Many are familiar with \"blue knees\" after new jeans; this is a normal sign of indigo dyeing. To reduce color bleeding in the first washes, you can add a tablespoon of table salt to the drum at 30–40°C; this can be repeated for the first 1–2 washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"524\" data-start=\"424\"\u003eWidth: 115 cm\u003cbr data-end=\"445\" data-start=\"442\"\u003eWeight: 122 g\/m² (3.6 oz)\u003cbr data-end=\"476\" data-start=\"473\"\u003eMaterial: 100% cotton\u003cbr data-end=\"500\" data-start=\"497\"\u003eCountry of origin: India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"889\" data-start=\"526\"\u003eWashing \u0026amp; care\u003cbr data-end=\"550\" data-start=\"547\"\u003e– For the first 1–2 washes: put the fabric in the machine at 30–40°C with a tablespoon of table salt in the drum to set the color.\u003cbr data-end=\"669\" data-start=\"666\"\u003e– Wash at 30–40°C with a mild detergent, preferably wool or silk soap, on a gentle setting.\u003cbr data-end=\"765\" data-start=\"762\"\u003e– Do not tumble dry.\u003cbr data-end=\"796\" data-start=\"793\"\u003e– Always wash before cutting and sewing, as the fabric may shrink during the first wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1053\" data-start=\"891\"\u003eHandcrafted Indian fabric – due to the handcrafted nature, minor irregularities in weaving or printing may occur; this is part of the fabric's charm and is not considered a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1234\" data-start=\"1055\"\u003eNote: Colors may appear differently depending on screens, and dyeing methods can result in slightly different outcomes in each dye lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1234\" data-start=\"1055\"\u003eNote: The fabric is narrow (≈110–115 cm). For patterns that assume a width of 140–150 cm, up to 25–30% more length may be needed — depending on the pattern and size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merchant and Mills","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42588216328305,"sku":"MM-INDCOT-IKAT-IND","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/1961\/3297\/files\/CCI-INDIGOSNOW.webp?v=1760082569","url":"https:\/\/saei.is\/en\/products\/indian-ikat-cotton-indigo-snow","provider":"Sæi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
