Ikat weaving is a stunning form of fiber art. The beautiful patterns created on traditional ikat weavings are not a result of fancy treadling or clever tapestry work but are built into the yarn itself through resist dyeing. As a spinner, it is exciting to create yarn that can be used to develop these designs. A true study in pink, this scarf uses avocado dye to create the ethereal spirit of an ikat cloth.

For more details on ikat-style resist dyeing, see Rachel Simmons' article in Spin Off Spring 2020 or this article in the library.
