                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Yangi Bazaar: walk straight to the covered pavilions, and on the right you will find rows with fabrics. The price ranges from 35,000 to 85,000 per meter, depending on the composition (silk, bamboo, cotton). The width of the cloth is from 37 to 45 cm. I also found ikat in souvenir shops, but the selection is poorer and the price is twice as high.</p>
<p>Here are the contact details, they also have an istagram account, perhaps this might be helpful</p>
