Similiar to Handloom Cotton, Ghisa silk is woven using hand operated looms. The warp (length) and weft (width) are two sets of interlacing yarns woven by weavers on a mechanised loom that do not use electricity. Loom fabric as a result becomes soft, durable and provides more comfort in comparison to machine-made fabric. Loom fabric that is woven with love by someone, definitely gives you a unique feel.Ghisa silk is characterized by the same moisture and air permeability property like handloom cotton, but has the sheen of silk. Human handling lends the fabrics a unique feel and gives the fabrics greater value. A labour intensive skill, the art of handweaving takes 20-25 days for a saree to be handwoven. Supporting handloom fabric supports our ancient heritage of rich weaving and encourages the weavers to continue practicing this precious art-form.
