India is famous for its
traditional handlooms, especially sarees and other fabrics. Handlooms are the
soul of Indian ethnic, the means of livelihood for millions with a glorious
past and a promising future.
Handloom
sarees are woven across the length and breadth of India at
different locations, each location having its own tradition of weaving. No
wonder there are innumerable varieties of sarees with names based on the
locations where they traditionally belong. Each variety has its peculiarities,
forms of adornment, its special characteristics and the making process.
Some
varieties are even attached to royal times based on the encouragement received
from their respective benefactor rulers, some others a background of how they
have evolved over time. Weaving is roughly the same process all over, it is
manner in which additions are made during the weave, after it, the coloring,
the other processes typical to each variety that create the shades of
difference.
A loom is a device used
to make cloth. The loom holds the warp threads under tension longitudinally, to
facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads laterally. There are very many
looms and though shapes and the mechanics vary, the basic purpose is to weave
cloth. Cloth from looms, mostly operated by hand, other than the power loom are
defined or known as handlooms.
Cotton is a fine natural
fibre whose fabric is soft, light, airy and very comfortable, especially during
the summer season. It is durable, has good affinity to colours and is
skin-friendly. Handloom cottons are woven on hand operated looms as against
mass produced cotton fabrics woven on power looms. Cotton handlooms offer good
canvas for designs, patterns and motifs.

Silk, jute, linen, and
other natural fibre threads are also used to create wonderful handloom fabrics.
While silk and cotton have tensile strength to be stretched in the weaving
process, some of the other natural fibres achieve their strength in the making
of fabrics only through blending with silk or cotton. Artificial or man-made
fibres like chiffon, georgette are also used to make fabrics like sarees on
hand operated looms.
