Crayon (Blue and maroon)

" Crayons are our childhood friends and through these magical pieces of colour we discovered the way to get into just any other magical land that we could imagine. Unaffected by our adulthood, these magic gateways to creativity still lie around in the house or in abandoned cookie-box-turned-storage boxes. Why don’t we try picking up one to rediscover the joy of careless glee? In a world that says progress is to leave the past behind, why should we not try to embrace it instead? ."

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.
