Excerpt:
There was a provider and a nurturer. There was an admirer and the admired. There was a care-giver and a care-seeker. There was a lover and the loved one. The relationship between the two was perfect. It was a classic relationship like some fine wine and olives. Only, both of them were not separate. She had this relationship with herself. She was both the red wine as well as the black olives!
This stunning combination of maroon and black in luscious cotton fabric is a beauty that will turn heads for sure!
Description:
The handloom cotton is a type of fabric that is woven using hand operated looms. Two sets of interlacing yarns, the warp (length) and weft (width), are woven on a mechanised loom operated by weavers. These looms do not use electricity. Human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and renders the fabrics more value. The resultant fabric is softer, more durable and much more comfortable than machine-made fabrics. Handloom cotton is more breathable and thus feels lighter in summers and provides more insulation in winters. The dyeing process also becomes easier for handloom cotton as the colour penetration is substantially more. Hues are absorbed better thus look resplendent on handloom cotton.
The art of hand weaving is labour intensive and takes a longer time. But, the beauty it adds to the fabric is priceless. Choosing handloom cotton supports the rich weaving heritage of India and lets the weavers carry on the precious art-form to the future generations as well.
