Ikat cushion covers are an example of unique and dexterous craftsmanship. Ikat stands for a dyeing process that is required to pattern textiles that uses a resist dyeing process in the weft or warp fibers. In some creations that are very costly and rare this process is used both on the warp and weft before dyeing and weaving. Here the resistance is formed by binding thread bundles with a strong wrapping done in required pattern and then dyed. If necessary, the bindings may be altered after that and the bundles again dyed in a different color. This creates multicolored and intricate patterns. After dyeing, the bindings are removed and the thread is woven into beautiful clothes.

Ikat weaving is mostly seen in Indonesia whereas it is also practiced in India and parts of Central Asia. In warp ikat, the dyed patterns are clearly visible in the warp threads even before weft is woven. In weft ikat, the dyed patterns become visible gradually as the weaving progresses. In double ikat, both weft and warp are dyed prior to weaving. This very rare technique is done only in selected regions of India, Japan and Indonesia. Cambodia, Thailand, South Central America also produce ikats.
