An Insight In To the Ikat Technology in India: Ancient To Modern Era
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Polymer and Textile Engineering (IOSR-JPTE) - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Ikat technique is one of the oldest and ancient methods of fabric ornamentation made with the elegant touch of the hand of a weaver. This yarn resist the way of embellishment for cloth is entirely different from that of the fabric ikat due to its versatility of ornamentation in the field of intricacy, fineness and artisanship of a pure designer, probably evolved from Asia. Although, shuttle-less looms with sophisticated dobby and jacquard technology are introduced into the textile industry with high productivity, the traditional textiles until date attracts its class of customer all around the globe. Apart from it, many a country, by policy, wanted to nurture and preserve their cultural heritage and craftsmanship; until now most of them continue earning a good chunk of the foreign exchange on export. In fact, even during the post-WTO regime, ikat fabrics are well in a track to accolade full recognition in international fairs and exhibitions. Although the tie and dye technique is age-old and struggling to be developed by now into a very high precision and skill technique, a limited detailed technical study and review is reported. The scientific pieces of literature sometimes neglect the art! So many available are based on the narration of existing traditional process involved but lacks the artistic insight with a fore vision for sustainable growth; evaluation of different methods, new technology adoptions for up-gradation of the tie and dye technique. There is an enormous scope of mechanisation of each manual process; those are being practiced currently for development of IKAT fabrics starting from Winding, Grouping, Tying and Dyeing etc. for mass or bulk production with uniform quality that ensure sustainable growth of the sector with appreciable remuneration to the majority of poor traditional weavers. In the present article, the details of technology involved in each of the processes, current developments in India and scope of future tech are well discussed & an approach has been emphasised with indications of extended possibilities.
