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.

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.
