The artwork of the intrinsic ikat pattern was initiated in a district named Nalgonda in Andhra Pradesh which is also popularly known as the silk city of India and this is where the traditional Ikat Silk Sarees originated from. These Sarees are also known as Pochampally silk for the ikat styling pattern imprinted on the fabric.
These saris are made using resist dyeing which is a dyeing technique used to create patterns on the yarn prior to weaving the fabric. The yarns are tightly wrapped either individually or into bundles for the application of the desired patterns. This process of binding is repeated multiple times to create different multi colored and multi textured pattern. Once the patterns are dyed the yarn binding are removed and these yarns are then woven into the cloth. The interesting fact about the ikat pattern is that as the patterns are created in the yarns and not on the finished cloth, therefore, the pattern faces on both sides of the fabric and looks similar.
Ikat Silk Sarees are also being showcased on the ramp on popular fashion shows where even the Bollywood celebrities are seen walking down the ramp wearing one. Saris have always fascinated the Bollywood industry and so most of the famous Bollywood actresses are often seeing wearing an ikat saree that have marked their charisma whether on screen or any other shows.
These sari also have a variety which is named as Patola silk which is basically originated from Gujrat. What makes them different from the former one is the weaving process where the warp and weft both are created by resist dying technique and are called as double ikat pattern. This pattern requires more time and skill depending on the intricate pattern. The pure quality ikat patola is mainly done on silk fabric and the labour and skill required makes it more expensive. The patterns and motifs used this saris are mostly geometric pattern which are either floral or animal and even traditional patterns.
