These are warp-faced plain weave silk warp, cotton weft ikats. Ikat is a style of weaving that uses a tie-dye process on the warp threads before the threads are woven to create a pattern or design. In Central Asia, the practiced type of ikat is warp-faced Ikat since they do not make any double ikats in which case both the warp and weft threads are tie-dyed. Ikat weaving can be a laborious process since it requires a multi process of tying and dyeing carefully. We used natural linen with best quality for backing this pillow cover and the woven parts are all lined with felted interface fabric.
