What is the weaving technique of Jamdani saree?
How is Jamdani saree made?
Jamdani saris are mostly woven in fine cotton, with extra weft designs that are inserted by hand either with a shuttle or with a needle.
The fine cotton yarn used for the base fabric needs starching in order to give it strength to withstand the stress on the loom.
The yarn is then transferred onto spools or bobbins to be used for the warp and weft.
Frame looms are used for Jamdani weaving, and the warp is prepared on a warping drum. The ends are manually drawn through the reed when a new warp is prepared. Jacquard looms have made it possible to make intricate designs, since the lifting order of the warp threads is defined by the jacquard cards.
The yarn is then transferred onto spools or bobbins to be used for the warp and weft.
