Handloom Cotton Checks Stripes - Weaving any
kind of pattern on cloth needs precision and is
labour intensive. In this process warp and weft
yarns interlace alternately. When you see more
than one color on the cloth it means the weavers
hands have moved hundreds of times to change the
shuttle.  Motifs ( buttas )  Motifs are created
using an extra weft technique. This needs a great
amount of skill where the weaver uses an extra
yarn and lifts the warp threads in a particular
order on the loom.  Our finest handloom cottons
yardages are produced by a fully owned womens
co-operative spread across remote villages in
Andhra Pradesh.

• Block Print
• Hand block printing is a centuries old surface
  embellishment technique where patterns are
  created on cloth using wood blocks. This
  technique is practiced in many regions in India
  and each region has their own motifs that are
  inspired by their heritage. Block printing
  involves several labour-intensive processes some
  of which are listed below
• Extracting dyes from leaves, barks, roots and
  flowers. Some of them contain medicinal
  properties such as neem and turmeric
• Washing the cloth in natural waterways to get rid
  of starch
• Carving the blocks
• Block printing more the number of colours in
  the pattern more the effort and precision
  required
• Our skilled printers and wood block carvers are
  spread   across Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan
