Pure Handloom Weaving Silk Saree
Amongst the traditional textiles of Bangladesh and India, handloom silk is made of 100% pure silk yarn and the handloom silk weaving industry is a very important industry for the development of rural areas in the country. Being an age old and irreplaceable technique of weaving, handloom silk weaving was a family enterprise of India’s cottage industry. However, due to tough spells of industrialization and need for money, the art was unable to be carried from father to son. Today the industry does suffer a huge set back though there are a lot of designers as well as designer stores that are trying real hard to revive our heritage back into the modern world and bring up these people who have lived their lives in poverty trying to value what was given to us by our ancestors.
Handloom silk is woven in a lot of parts of India in different designs and forms. Each state has their own style of weaving and motifs too differ from one state to another. Handloom silks are woven on shuttle-pit looms that are made of wood and rope. The dyed yarn used to weave these sarees is outsourced and then the warp and weft yarns are woven on the loom by master weavers to create bewitching sarees. These yarns are also made by the people who weave the fabric. It is mesmerizing to see how people living in primitive conditions and having very little resources to fulfil even their basic needs of food, water and shelter, weave such beautiful fabrics and do not deviate from their art come what may. It is for us to learn from them to value and respect our traditional heritage and not let it get lost somewhere in history.
Handloom sector being the second largest industry of India, even the government is aiding to optimize all the resources available in order to help this industry endure the tough times it has been facing. Few types of handloom silk sarees are Baluchuri sarees of West Bengal, Kanchipuram silk sarees of Tamil Nadu, Tussar sarees of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, Banarasi sarees of Uttar Pradesh.
