PRERANA(HANDLOOM SHAWL)

STORY:

Perhaps identity has disassociated itself from individuality. The identity in me tries to connects my individuality to a broader social category, in which I as an individual can associate myself with. Yet from the moment, I was going beyond social constructions and being capable of formulating independent values and opinions which were distinct from my parents or friends or relatives, my background and my ascribed womanhood, my identity became more pronounced as an individual.

This handwoven chocolate brown shawl with phool boota motifs is love.

DESCRIPTION:

Handloom cotton fabric is woven using hand operated looms. The warp (length) and weft (width) are two sets of interlacing yarns woven by weavers on a mechanised loom that do not use electricity. Loom fabric as a result becomes soft, durable and provides more comfort in comparison to machine-made fabric. Loom fabric that is woven with love by someone, definitely gives you a unique feel and 

Handloom cotton is more breathable and therefore, feels lighter in summers and provides more insulation in winters. Also, colour penetration in handloom cotton is more, thus making it more easier fabric for dyeing. Due to better absorbance of colour, handloom cotton looks more splendid than machine-made. Most importantly, human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and gives the fabrics greater value.

A labour intensive skill, the art of handweaving takes 20-25 days for a saree to be handwoven. Supporting handloom fabric supports our ancient heritage of rich weaving and encourages the weavers to continue practicing this precious art-form.
