The handwoven thigh reeled kosa dupatta, made from natural Kosa fabric, is in a vibrant shade of red. Along the bottom edges, dark blue stripes are meticulously incorporated using the phera technique, forming small checks in a charming combination of red and blue at the center.
Technique
Phera is a three-shuttle weaving technique that interlocks the weft of the body of the fabric with the weft of the borders on both sides. This technique is used to create simple straight borders as well as intricate temple borders on saris. Due to its complexity, it requires two weavers to work together in sync. The term "Phera," which means "turn around," refers to the shuttle turning at the point where the two wefts intersect.
