"patolas (textiles)"@en . "Textiles created by a particular technique and known for intense colors, fineness of weave, and dramatic designs. Patola-making developed in India. They are created through the technique of double ikat, where both the warp and weft threads are tie-dyed with patterns before weaving. When the silk threads are woven together, the dyed sections are aligned to form clear motifs. The process is complex, difficult, and labor intensive; the slightest misalignment of threads leads to indistinct motifs. Examples of usage of patolas include as saris for women and as shoulder cloths for men."@en . "patolus"@en . . "patola (textile)"@en . "patolu"@en . . . "300395465" . "2014-10-28T13:49:44"^^ .
