•The enchanted handloom craft Cluster “ Chanderi’’ particularly famous for its fabric, famous for its sheer texture and transparency . Although complex in the matter of production and involving numerous processes , each creation is individualistic and localised in its appeal . The tools that produce these handicrafts cannot be compared against spectacular structures or noisy machines, but the resulting artifacts speak with silent and subtle beauty.
Weaving technique used is "Extra weft technique" and plain weave. There are
two types of loom arrangements used in Chanderi weaving. One is Jacquard
and the othe is Naka. This collection is made using Naka weaving.
The fabric is made in silk by cotton weave. The warp is silk and the weft is
mercerised cotton. The motifs are woven in mercerised cotton and zari.
