Weaving Handlooms
Skill of weaving randomly dyed yarn in natural zigzag or geometric patterns. It is truly an art of weaving that won accolades throughout the world
. The technique is unique and extremely popular.
Does children know about the handlooms it is funny they ant to experiment with it as my daughter is exprimenting rather palying.
This technique originated from Telia-rumal. Telia is derived from tel (Oil) which is used in sizable quantity in preparing the yarn for weaving. Ikat enables the weaver to program precisely the exact pattern of colours on the finished fabric by wrapping it up with wax and clay before dipping it in select dyes. Ikat is popular as lungi, shoulder cloth, turban cloth earlier but now sarees, dupattas, purses, files, bags, mats and bedsheets are more in demand.
