Songket is a fabric that belongs to the brocade family of textiles of the Malay world today, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Southern Thailand. It is hand-woven in silk or cotton, and intricately patterned with gold or silver threads. The metallic threads stand out against the background cloth to create a shimmering effect. In the weaving process the metallic threads are inserted in between the silk or cotton weft latitudinal threads in a technique called supplementary weft weaving technique. |
