- 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
-
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.
- Plain
Silk
-
Description: Plain silk fabrics are made by plain weaving
usually using yarns of the same color for both the warp and the
weft. The cloth is smooth and generally not patterned. Sometimes
different colors are used for the warp or weft, giving striped or
checkered patterns.
