Bundles of yarn are tightly bound with threads or strips of rubber to cover the areas that will eventually form the pattern. After tying the yarn is fully immersed in a dye bath where the dye penetrates the exposed yarn and leaves the protected areas undyed. For multicolour effects the process is repeated. When rinsed and dried the ties are removed and the yarn is fed on to the loom in a strictly controlled order ready for weaving. This basic process is simple enough but is extremely time consuming; a well controlled pattern requires great skill and attention to detail. Once set up, the weaving of a warp Ikat is simple and fast. Although there are virtually endless pattern opportunities working with a tie-dyed warp the maximum effect of this technique is achieved by tie-dyeing both warp and weft. This doubles the amount of tie-dyeing and slows down the weaving as the weaver has to adjust virtually every weft insertion to ensure a good pattern alignment.
