Patolas and Resist-Dyed Fabrics in India - Hardcover
One of the most highly sought after textile exports from India was patola, a silk double-ikat from Gujarat, where both warp and weft were dyed before weaving into the desired patterns. In layman's terms, the threads for weaving were tied together and dyed selectively. Making patola was "an extremely complicated process developed over the centuries [that] represents the acme of the weaver's skill"

Book Description Hardcover. Red and yellow illustrated boards with white lettering, 64 pp., color illustrations throughout. "Of India's legendary heritage of textiles, few are as highly prized as the patola, the double-ikat silk fabric in which both warp and weft are separately tie-dyed before weaving to create patterns of unmatched richness and subtlety. An extremely complicated process developed over the centuries, patola represents the acme of the weaver's skill. In Gujarat patola was held in such high esteem that it figured prominently in social and religious ceremonies. It crept into the folk culture of the region, surfacing occasionally in song and legend. And even today, hundreds of years later, the wonder of patola remains undiminished." (p. 11). VG (previous owner's name plate and inscription on front page, very minimal shelf wear at corners, all pages clear and intact). Seller Inventory # 181771
