ABOUT THE CRAFT

 IKATS OF POCHAMPALLY
 In the early 70's traditional cotton weavers from the Padmasali community from Pochampally took a major decision to switch from weaving cotton to silk and incorporating the ikat technique from nearby Chirala to create silk saris. They adapted designs from the famous Patan Patolas and sold them throughout India at a fraction of the price. This formed the base for a booming handwoven silk industry, that has now earned its own GI tag ‘Pochampally  Ikat’ which gives them exclusive rights to tag their products by geographic indication.

IKAT TECHNIQUE:
 Ikat is a yarn tye and dye technique which  requires several artisans with varied skill sets such as graphing, design marking, yarn tying, dyeing, untying and warp setting even before the weaver can begin weaving !In ikat, designs are created on the yarn prior to weaving. The ikat process entails first grouping of yarn followed by tying areas to a predetermined design or pattern. Next the hanks are hand dyed to the required shade. The tied sections resist the dye while open sections get dyed. Ties are removed and the pattern is revealed on the yarn. Then thread by thread the patterned yarn is handwoven into fabric it’s characteristic jagged contours identified as Ikat. When only warp or weft are dyed the fabric is referred to as single ikat. When both thread systems are tied and dyed the fabric is identified as double ikat
