As the name suggests, a handloom is a loom that is used to weave fabrics using hands, that is, without the use of electricity. A handloom sari is woven on a shuttle-pitloom made from ropes, wooden beams, and poles. The foot pedals are pressed to lift the respective heddles according to the weave plan and it has to be in sync with throwing the weft or horizontal yarns across the two sections of warp yarns. Weavers continue weaving for long hours in a day which requires immense concentration and physical strength. #dhunkifashion #handloomsarees #handloomweaving #supportsmallbusinessindia #sareesofindia (at Kolkata) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPvKs81lzKz/?utm_medium=tumblr
