Description: This sin mi khun was made with the ikat method. The fiber of the weft was tied with other fibers or tape to block out the fibers from dye. The weft was then dyed and redyed with each blocking out areas of the weft. Dye seeps into the edges of the areas that are blocked from the dye which results in the blurring effect of the ikat technique.
