Hand Weaving

Hand weaving is one of the oldest art forms in India. It is a textile producing method in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interwoven at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. The longitudinal one is called warp and the lateral thread as filling. A loom is usually used to weave cloth. The cloth after weaving is embellished with beautiful designs.
