Jok

Description: Jok fabrics are made by introducing extra weft yarns as is done in khit fabrics; however, this is done at intervals; a yarn is not visible across the entire piece. This makes possible much more complex designs and color combinations than are found in khit fabrics.

Mudmee
[379 x 379 jpg] thaisilk3
Description: Mudmee is a venerable textile tradition of the Northeastern Region of Thailand and is also practiced in certain places in Central Region provinces such as Suphanburi, Uthaithani, Kanchanaburi, Lopburi, and Chainat. Mudmee is made by tying string on the yarns of either the warp or the weft in the desired pattern. The yarns are then dyed, and the exposed portions take up the dye while the tied portions do not. After dying, the strings are removed and the piece is woven. In most Thai mudmee, the design is tied on the weft; however, in some provinces, such as Chiang Mai, Maehongson, Ratchaburi, and Petchaburi, it is the warp that is tied.
