Handwoven purple ikat fabric by the metre.
Featuring a bright purple background with indigo and white motifs, and pops of yellow and blue, this fabric showcases the intricate beauty of traditional ikat weaving.
We buy this beautiful cloth from a market in Bali where the weavers sell the cloth they've made on their home looms. The technique of ikat weaving is famous in many parts of the world, and is part of a long textile tradition.
Perfect for quilting, making shirts and blouses, lampshades or adding an accent to home decor projects.
