Weaving is an art that enhances the look of a dull
piece into a designer piece.
India has been
considered as precursor in the art of weaving textiles. A six-yard sari can be
designed by lot of efforts and painstaking steps. One such meticulous process
of making a sari is “weaving”.
Weave, is a method
where the threads are interlaced with each other. The interstices or crossing of the threads determines the
characteristic of the weave.
Weaving, an
approach or way of producing a fabric by interlacing two distinct sets of
yarns, which are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric, is basically a
family of techniques used for several purposes in knitting. Weaving techniques
are also used for decorating the clothes and household materials. Today, Indian
saris are attracting the international women by their traditional weavings.
There are
different methods in making fabrics or cloths other than weaving such as
knitting, lace making, felting and braiding or plaiting etc. But weaving is
considered as an international method in making the fabrics.
Warp and weft
are the two basic steps of weaving, where the longitudinal threads are called
as warps and lateral are called as wefts or fillings. The method in which these
threads are interwoven affects the characteristics of cloth. Weaving basically
involves in two types:
1.
Handloom,
2.
Power loom
If the weaving
is done by using hands, then it will be called as handloom, otherwise it is
known as power loom if it is done by using machines.
There are
different types of weaves:
Plain weave is the most common and inexpensive type produce. It
is simple, durable and flat in nature, where it has two types of variations in
it named Rib weave and Matt weave. Crepe, chiffon, georgette, shantung,
taffeta, organdie and muslin are the different fabrics come under this
category.
Basket weave is also an inexpensive type like plain weave but with
chequered patterns. It has regular and irregular weaves which are used in
making wall hangings and pillows.
Satin weaves are smooth, soft lustrous with excellent draping
qualities. Satin and satin weave fabrics such as cotton are the basic fabrics
and are used in making draperies and quits etc.
Twill weaves are diagonal and fancy designs, which are used in
making household uses like comforters and upholstery etc with denim as basic
fabric.
Jacquard is the combination of plain, satin and twill with brocade, cotton,
Lenin and Damask as base clothes, used to make wall hangings.
Leno weaves were used thousands of years ago in making fabrics.
Now they are under usage of designing blankets and curtains.
Pile weaves are used to form loops like cut and un-cut pile
fabrics. These are soft, absorbent and relatively inexpensive fabrics used to
make carpets, rugs and towels.
Saris are the traditional Indian fabrics preferred by most women in India.
It is made by weaving either by traditional methods or by modern looms. There
are very many centres for the weaving of ethnic saris across India like
