Weaving Techniques

The majesty silk is woven through one of the various techniques to create a classic Banarasi Silk Saree:

Cutwork Technique: Using the cut work hand weaving technique, the motifs and jaal on the saree are woven together and refined by clipping the extra floating threads that are lying loose in the back side of the fabric and not engaged in design formation.

Kadhua Technique: “Kadhua” is one of the finest weaving techniques of Banaras, when each motif is woven separately. Each saree is a kind of masterpiece as it is woven by 2-3 weavers simultaneously and takes 2-5 weeks to weave a saree based on the intricacy of design. Kadhua is created with extra wefts on top of the base warp fabric with Resham or Zari wound around hand shuttles, leaving no loose floats or threads on the back of the fabric.
