Edit Article

A lot of material in the actual article seems to derive from the talk page. It is quite emotive and argumentative and seems to relate to some discussion best left on the discussion page. Please- before adding information on dubious links to India- consider the UNESCO 2009 listing of IKAT as UNESCO listed Indonesian Intangible Cultural Heritage- and the case required of Indonesian Government to be made before the UNESCO to attain this.Peeweebee (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou Peeweebee

Hello, can you please include to the reference material UNESCO document on Ikat, so the reader can see it? The article is very interesting, but in my opinion it is lacking an information and therefore a little bit misleading. I do not know if you heard of fabrics called Adras, Atlas and many others that were invented, produced for the ages in Central Asia and was offered to the world thanks to the Silk Road. Please do not mix patterns on the fabric with the textile technique. Ikat is a textile technique, but patterns differ from place to place and therefore if Central Asians, who invented their particular pattern and textile, call their fabrics other then Ikat, you can not put a picture of Uzbek fabric (that in fact atlas or adras)and offer it to the world as Ikat.

Thank you very much for your tremendous work and consideration,

Coloring

Perhaps organic and chemical coloring of the yarns can be mentioned: prganic coloring is done with

• blue: indigo
• red: meduku roots
• yellow: curcuma

Yes, but how?

The problem I have with understanding this page is that the practice of "binding" is not really explained. Looks like it needs some illustration and explanation. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:07, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

To Do List, as of 2026

This article has lots of double up sections! I will try get to these but listing here in case anyone wants to help.

• lede is too long and includes manufacture details in too much detail better included later.
• Types section is mostly covered by more in-depth warp-only, weft-only, and double ikat sections
• History section overlaps with distribution
