One of the main features of these sarees is their beautiful ikat patterns that give the saree an appealing and geometric look. Ikat essentially means the dyeing of yarns in a particular way so as to be able to see the design once woven completely. Pochampally sarees are known for their intricate patterns and motifs using fine yarn work with cotton and silk. Both single ikat and double ikat patterns are used. If single ikat patterns are used, there is a hazy effect that is seen because of the motif being visible only in the wary threads. The intersection of the weft while weaving provides for the jagged line effect once done.
