Khan-Atlas, Adras,<br />
Suzane, Bahmal, Ikat won<br />
the hearts of millions of<br />
people all over the world.<br />
A special place in the life of the Uzbek people is occupied by<br />
traditional fabrics made by ancient technology which is called<br />
IKAT in the west. This sophisticated weaving technique is<br />
performed exclusively manually: the threads of the fabric are tied<br />
in bundles and dyed in certain colors. As a result, when the fabric<br />
is woven, a pattern emerges on it. In Uzbekistan, this technique is<br />
called “abrband”, which means “tied cloud”. The ikat technique is<br />
also used in other regions, but it is in this area that the situation<br />
is special. The fabrics here are the brightest, the colors resemble<br />
precious stones, with very clear drawings.<br />
