Handwoven

Jaala is a weaving technique used to create intricate motifs and patterns that are too complex for a standard dobby mechanism. In this method, each warp thread is individually tied to a specific horizontal thread that needs to be lifted simultaneously according to a pre-designed graph. The process requires two artisans: one sits behind the shafts, over the warp, manually lifting the jaala threads with a wooden hook after each pick to match the pattern’s repetition, while the other artisan weaves the fabric. This synchronised effort allows for the creation of elaborate and delicate designs.

This saree has been handwoven by Kosa artisans and might carry slight irregularities in design and texture. These small variations are not defects, but instead the hallmark of handcrafted goods which makes each piece unique.
