We saw a weaving family with the loom in the living room of the house. Generations thrive on the income from this tradition and each family has a pattern that he or she has become an expert on.
Pochampally weaving is also called ikat.. meaning tie and dye. The loom is dyed before weaving. An intricate process of calculations and accurate handling of the colors create the wonderful patterns that pochampally sarees and materials are all about.
The whole family is a team with each family member trained to tackle one job at a time. It is amazing to see how mathematical calculations are made on graph and transferred on the loom and how each loom is strategically placed to create the final design.
The whole process takes a month.
Some of the most unique color combinations can be seen in these sarees and for the fact, the colors are all natural.
Pochampally is also famous for its furnishings. The material used is thick and very durable. For any kind of ethnic remodelling ,, pochampally designs add the required spice.
