Handloom fabrics are handwoven fabrics created on a weaving device called a loom.

Handlooms feel significantly better against the skin compared to power looms, especially if made with synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon and rayon.

The process involves entwining a set of vertical threads, the ‘warp”, with a set of horizontal threads, the ‘weft”.
The loom holds the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads over and above the warp using a weaving shuttle. This is done repeatedly to create the handloom fabric.

Handloom fabrics are generally made with high quality natural fibres like cotton, linen, silk, and wool which are resilient and last for a long time.

Fabric dyes are usually sourced from natural ingredients such as turmeric, indigo, henna, dogwood bark, and dandelion which are completely safe for the skin and the environment.

The loom is manually operated - no energy or water is required and no carbon emissions are released.

Weaving is mostly done in weavers’ homes where the working conditions and wages are ideal compared to power loom factories.
