Looms and spaces ! The set up of looms and the diversity one sees in the arrangement of looms across geographies is fascinating. One sees a dingy dark room that is packed with the loom and houses other equipments like shuttle, beam etc. etc. One also sees spacious halls where the warp is spread and open. The contrast is startling. While our team navigates from region to region we uncover nuances of caste, geography gender and demographics. The post covers pictures of weaving spaces from Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. #weaverentrepreneur #weavingcommunity #handloom #weaversofinstagram #weaving

In my travel across various parts of the country I have seen women perform all activities in the process of weaving. However, they are still not recognised as primary weavers or bread winners. When I was working with Mrs Sally Holkar, she always mentioned that women in our country are 'Shadow Weavers', i.e. they would weave in the dark of the night, or when their husbands are away but never take the credit for it and for a long time we pretended to associate women with the role of only pre-loom workers. Their role was critical in doing all the patient hard work behind the scenes and their role is critical in getting the fabric woven in time. It's time we bring them to the foreground.Our team tried to capture many incredible moments with women weavers at work from Bengal, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. More power to them. #womenartisans #womenentrepreneurs #weaversofinstagram #womenwevers #handloom #weavingcommunity #sustainablebrands #sustainablefashion

When one walks across weaving villages of India, one generally comes across extra reeds and shafts that are usually placed under the ceiling on a loft. The meticulous pre-process of weaving has always intrigued me even after spending 8 years with the craft. The wealth of knowledge, wisdom, the attention to detail, the conspicuous and the inconspicuous has never failed to amaze me. There are still so many weaving clusters where weavers struggle to get continuous weaving orders. Our goal is reach out to them gradually with better market, design and credit services. We need you constant support to secure orders and work. #handmadeclothing #handloom #handspunyarn #weaverentrepreneur #weavingcommunity #weaversofinstagram #weaving

Kala cotton yardages drying out after a thorough wash. Kala cotton is a short staple indigenous cotton variety from the Kutch region of Gujarat. Owing to the nature of short staple fibers it tends to be coarse in the beginning but water works magic on the yarns. The general complaint is that kala cotton fabrics are coarse as compared with other mainstream cottons, however if they are soaked in water overnight they become super soft. Post processes play a major role in defining the drape and feel of the fabric and hence we take utmost care in the post process stage, so that the fabrics you receive is perfectly imperfect. #handmadeclothing #handwoven #handspunyarn #kalacotton #kutchimotif #weavingcommunity #weaverentrepreneur
