The dinapat design on Abra and Ilocos textiles are produced using the brocade weaving method, specifically the continuous supplementary weft technique employed when weaving pinilian textiles. According to Pastor-Roces (1991), pinilian or brocade weaving produces designs with embroidery-like motifs and patterns that float in relief on the cloth’s surface, a distinct characteristic of the dinapat. The difference of the dinapat from pinilian textiles is in the structure of the design, wherein the pinilian textiles always have spaces between motifs, while the dinapat have full designs where motifs and patterns are seamless. Furthermore, dinapat has motifs and patterns “on the entire surface” (Pastor-Roces 1991, p. 63), or in other words, that which “occupies the whole blanket” (Salvador-Amores 2019, p. 27). This dinapat from the collection is identified as having the eight-pronged star design called bituwon. Traditional embroidery was used for the textile with spider-like patterns called kawa-kawa in Ilocano (Respicio, 2015) and sinan-akawa in Itneg to secure the blanket’s edges and as joineries for the panels.
