The handloom is powered by a footpedalandpulley system. Thus the looms do not require any power as they are hand operated – a zero carbon footprint! These looms are kept in homes and provide a source
of income that can be adapted to a village family lifestyle. Often the looms are provided by local cooperatives to help the community. The fabrics range from 34” to 62” wide. By the very nature of hand
spinning and weaving, there will be variations in the construction and texture. -
The cotton is spun into different gauges. The finest being a muslinguage, cotton thread which when woven will require200 warp and weft threads to make just 1square inch! This then requires1 day to weave 1-2 metres of this incredibly fine silk like cotton cloth weight!
The mid weight thread is called DTs and takes approximately 60
warp and weft threads to make 1 inch(thus taking 1 day to make 5- 10 metres ). The heaviest slub weight thread is called ‘kanpuri’ andit is the fastest to weave – taking just 20 warp and weft threads to make 1 square inch, and approximately 20-30 metres in 1 day.
