Ikat
Bali is a major outlet for ikat-woven blankets, 'kain', sarongs, and scarves from Nusa Tenggara. In this unique Indonesian craft, the threads are dyed prior to the material being woven. With their primitive designs and subdued blue, white, red, brown, and black colors, these striking cloths have always held a fascination for tourists.
You find ikat in almost all of Bali's textile shops, which stock both hand-woven ikat in silk and cotton, as well as ready-to-wear ikat clothing. Many shops also offer custom tailoring-they'll make anything you want out of ikat!
