It doesn't bother me about the pronunciation, if it is close. No matter how they pronounce it, I do not like any ikat print. I don't like it on me, I don't like to see it. I have no idea why, but ikat prints really bother me. LOL! There I have said it. Maybe I was scared by an "ikat" who knows.

I have the same skeevy feeling about topiaries, LOL.

Topiaries are like poodle plants.

In ikat, the resist is formed by binding individual yarns or bundles of yarns with a tight wrapping applied in the desired pattern.
The yarns are then dyed.
