Traditional
handlooms, weaves that come from manually operated looms, are from historical
times, that have seen glorious times, the patronage of royalty and the
encouragement of a populace totally dependent on it for clothing themselves.
Handlooms and weaving came up out of a need that led to their discovery, but
the devotion and toil of those that chose to make it their livelihood breathed
life into these fabrics with their concepts, execution, finesse and flavor
transformed a simple process into a complex art.
India famous for its traditional handlooms, especially salwar
kameez, sarees and many other fabrics, has had a glorious past in handlooms and
a bright future in fashion fabrics. Handlooms are the soul of Indian ethnic,
the means of livelihood for millions with a glorious past and a promising
future. Their presence in Indian fashion has given it a niche place, an
identity in international fashion.
Handloom fabrics are woven across the
length and breadth of India at different locations, each location having its
own tradition of weaving. 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 the 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. The salwar kameez that once was only a traditional garment like the
saree has by virtue of handlooms reached the level of a fashion statement.
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. With good blending
qualities, cotton handlooms of traditional styles such as Gadwal, Uppada,Pochampalli, Kanchipuram, Mangalagiri,Venkatagiri, Narayanpet, Rasipuram, Kerala, Chettinad,
Banaras, Kota, Orissa, Bengal have been used with silk to get blended Sico and Cotton silk fabrics
of very good quality and durablity. Since they offer good canvas for prints,
beautiful designer versions are available using traditional block bagru and
dabu prints in a wide range of extremely vibrant and pleasing colours.
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 salwar kameez on hand operated looms.
