Among the reserve dyeing techniques, ikat weaving, which is created with various applications to yarns, is a universal source of artistic history that has preserved its importance from the past to the present. The ikat, which is practiced in many cultures around the world, is technically similar, although it is named differently in some regions. The term ikat is a dyeing technique applied in the sense of reserving the yarns in line with the desired pattern before weaving and then performing the dyeing processes. These techniques are practiced in regions such as Central Asia, India and Southeast Asia. 

The ikat process is the process of dyeing applications by binding the threads in groups (weft, warp) or by reserving with a coating material. The preliminary preparation for the weaving process is completed by opening the reserve points after dyeing or removing the closing materials. When the reserved areas are examined after the weaving process is completed, it is seen that unique pattern features are created on the weaving surfaces with its unique moire structure. The aim of this paper is to investigate the technical applications of the original works in the art of ikat. In the method of the research, the scanning model, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. Terms related to Ikat weaving, production techniques, surface composition properties, examples applied in Turkey and the world were investigated. In this context, studies that have been applied for centuries in different cultures have been examined and evaluated.
