No.66 is a 'limited edition' kaftan as it takes two months to make. A true collectors item, the process is explained here in detail by artisan, Yuridia, who created the piece: "Only very skilled artisans are able to weave this kaftan. The necklines represent the spine of a snake that appears after the rain. The sacred snake represents the rainbow therefore the spine is a rainbow forming the shoulders of the kaftan. No.66 is made with finer thread then other kaftans, so the artisans need to weave with more strength to give the kaftan the thick structure and durableability. Each weaver measures out the number of warp threads needed. In this fine striped kaftan, they interweave the white and the purple strands until they make 295 pairs of threads. Typically a regular kaftan has the lines 8 threads wide. The motifs are placed in the neckline of the kaftan with no space between them, therefore just very dedicated weavers are able to weave kaftan No.66."
