history of handloom

A Handloom is a loom powered manually rather than by industrial means. Basically, all looms are frames that hold the warp threads, those that run vertically for the length of the intended fabric, in tension. The warp threads are then interlaced with weft threads at a right angle, thus forming a weave, In Indian weaving vocabulary, you sometimes see the warp threads called the tana and the weft threads called the bana.( Sourced: https://study.com/academy/lesson/indian-weaving-history-patterns.html)

Handloom sarees are a traditional textile art of India. The production of handloom sarees are important for economic development in rural India. Completion of a single saree can take from 15 days to a month and sometimes upto 6 months to complete, depending on the intricacy of its designs and patterns. Some of the well known Indian Handloom Sarees are Kanchepuram Silks Sarees, Maheshwari Saree, Bagh Print Saree, Chanderi Silk Sarees, Tussar silk saree, Banarsi Silks Saree, Baluchuri Sarees, Sambhalpuri Sarees, Kantha stitch Sarees, Bandhini Sarees and Munga Sarees.
