FULL SCRIPT FOR PRICING REFERENCE ONLY//
.............
Sisilia Sii and her daughter Grasiana Wani are weavers on the island of Flores in Indonesia. Sii credits her ability to work long hours at her loom to betel chewing, a habit that colors her lips and teeth.
The cloth Sii and Yana make is used for women’s skirts, like the ones that they wear every day.
........................
The beautiful patterns on the cloth are created by the ikat method, a complicated procedure that requires months of work to produce a single cloth.
After carefully measuring, counting, and grouping the cotton yarns that will make up the warp, or the lengthwise elements, of the cloth, and placing them on a frame, Sii begins to tie the pattern. Using finely split strips of palm leaf, she binds off selected portions of the grouped yarns. When the tying is finished, the yarns are removed from the frame and readied for dyeing. The ties will prevent the dye from penetrating into the tied portions.
..................
The warp is dyed first with indigo. Processing the locally-grown indigo plants and maintaining the fermenting pots require considerable experience.
The indigo dyeing process is repeated day after day until the desired blue-black color is achieved.
Even as the dye is beaten into the yarn, the palm-leaf ties must remain in place and keep the indigo from penetrating the tied-off portions of the pattern.
When the weavers are satisfied with the indigo color, the yarn is returned to the frame and some of the ties are removed, revealing the white yarn underneath.
Next the yarn is dyed a second color, red-brown, prepared from the bark of the roots of the morinda tree.
Once again the fragile ties must remain in place while the dye is beaten into the yarn.
After the yarn is dyed with morinda, it is boiled to set the color.
When the dying process is finished, the remaining ties are stripped off. The pattern is now completely encoded into the warp yarns though they have yet to be woven into cloth.
The warp yarns are stretched on a frame and the women carefully work them back and forth to properly align the pattern. When they are satisfied that the pattern is as tidy as possible, the yarns are transferred to a body-tension loom.
Here Sii begins the weaving of a panel of cloth for a woman’s skirt.
Though skill is required, the weaving progresses relatively quickly and a panel of cloth can be completed in one week. Three panels will be needed to make one skirt.
