About The skill of indian weavers
Answers
Indian weavers are specialized in weaving. They are known for their intricate weaving and detailed designs and patterns.
Most of the Indian weavers have passed on their skills from one generation to the next. Most of the traditional weaving societies and communities have been in the weaving industry for plenty of years through many generations.
The cotton is spun by spinning and the thread is woven into a cloth. It is later coloured with dyes.
Although weaving was a boon to Indian textiles, after the British period, the cotton industries were affected and there was a fall in exporting textiles which made people lose their jobs.
The admiration for hand-woven textiles is back in trend now and most people are preferring to use handwoven clothes, bags etc. Silk, cotton, jute, and Khadi are the major types of handwoven clothes and materials along with blockprint, batik prints, tie and dye designs etc. are used nowadays.

Indian handlooms are known for their richness, exquisiteness, variety and fine quality. They are an integral part of Indian culture and no festival or occasion is complete without them. The passage of time has brought about a change in the weaves, patterns and designs boasting of glamor, magnificence and exquisiteness but the importance of handlooms still remains the same.
As an economic activity, handlooms comprise the largest cottage industry in the country. Millions of looms across the country are engaged in weaving cotton, silk and other natural fibers to bring out traditional beauty of India’s precious heritage and also providing livelihood to millions of families. There is hardly a village where weavers do not exist weaving out the traditional beauty of the region. The skills and activities are kept alive by passing the skills from generation to generation. What sets our handloom apart is the excellent workmanship, color combination and fine quality.
