Description:Indonesia's textile culture includes a large repertoire of techniques, the best-known of which is perhaps the dye-resist technique universally referred to as ikat weaving. The Malay word 'ikat' means to bind, tie, or wind around. In this process, the parts of the yarn that are to reman undyed are protected by binding them tightly with a vegetable fibre that resists penetration of the dye. The result is an intricate piece of cloth of high quality produced over a long period of time.Warp ikat is widely dispersed n Indonesia, found in such places as the Bataklands of North Sumatra, on the islands of Flores, Sumba, Rote, Sabu, Ndao and Timor in East Nusa Tenggara, in Kalimantan, especially in the minor regions, in Sulawesi in Rongkong and Galumpang, and on the Maluku Islands, such as Tanimbar and Kisar.While the patterning ikatted into Indonesian cloths often reflects the adoption of foreigh influences, such as from Indian textiles that were so popular in the islands, the local peoples made their own interpretations and managed to produce amazing pieces to a level that sometimes rose far above that of the original. This is why some Indonesian textiles are regarded today as among the finest in the world.Traditional textiles have particular functions in the social, religious, aesthetic and economic aspects of community life in Indonesia.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
