Story
On the radio, the weatherman chattered excitedly about the approach of the seasons first showers. A faint rumble rose in the distance, perfectly on cue.
She threw off her sandals and raced down the long, narrow corridor that wound away from her home, opening up to the fields. She felt the cold concrete yield to bare earth under her soles, the soil shifting ever so slightly as though, like her, it was impatient to witness the bounty it would birth and nurture. The earth was uneven, scattered with jagged pebbles; but each had its place in natures perfect symmetry. The air was moist and heavy with trepidation. It had been many long months of waiting, hoping and longing. But, like all difficult phases, this drought too had come to an end. It was time to leave the past behind and celebrate a new start.
This earth-toned handloom cotton saree will elevate your spring wardrobe.
Description
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.
