Tangerine, a deeper red-orange, steel blue and coppery brown diamonds, all done in the weave. Precise dying of the silk threads was done prior to weaving and the result is stunning. This silk is much like dupioni: a bit slubby and textured, but also lustrous and shiny, midweight, with some body and crispness. The colors are exquisite together, and the oranges have so much sheen they reflect the light like gold. A true ikat, both sides are the same. This treasure was handwoven in Telangana, an area of India known for its award-winning master ikat hand weavers. 

44/45" Wide and sold by the full yard.  Yours will be a continuous piece. 


Gently hand wash in cold water with mild detergent or mild shampoo, and avoid soaking for too long. Also avoid wringing the silk. Excess natural colors may bleed when washed for the first time. Hang in the shade to dry. Iron with a low temperature iron and use a cloth between the fabric and the iron.  Or use a trusted dry cleaner experienced with silks.
