Mosman Art Gallery, Sydney, Australia p.24〕 They are very expensive, once worn only by royalty and the aristocracy, they are popular and in demand from those who can afford them.〔http://www.deccanherald.com/content/306820/weaving-indian-pattern-through-textiles.〕〔http://www.thehindu.com/business/companies/article2500297.ece〕 Velvet patola styles are also made in Surat. Patola-weaving is a closely guarded family tradition. There are three families left in Patan that weave these highly prized double ikat saris. It can take six months to one year to make one sari. ==The weave== To create a patola sari, both the warp and weft threads are wrapped to resist the dye according to the desired pattern of the final woven fabric. This tying is repeated for each color that is to be included in the finished cloth. The technique of dying both the warp and weft before weaving is called double ikat. The bundles of thread are strategically knotted before dyeing. Patola saris from Patan are renowned for their colorful diversity and geometrical style. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patola Sari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
