Silk Spinning

Before the introduction of mechanized means of spinning in the early 19th century, Indian cottons and silks were hand spun and hand woven, a highly popular fabric, called the khadi. Fabrics that use mill- spun yarn but which are hand-woven are known as handloom. Today cotton is an integral part of textiles in India. Nearly four million handlooms are engaged in weaving fabrics of nearly 23 different varieties of cotton. The discovery of several spindles, and a piece of cotton stuck to a silver vase, revealed that the spinning and weaving of cotton was known to the Harrappans, nearly five thousand years ago. References to weaving are found in the Vedic literature on the method of spinning, the various materials used. The foundations of the Indian textile trade with other countries began as early as the second century BC. When it comes to textile, skillful weaving techniques, vibrant colors and inventive designs combine to bring out the fascinating textile-based handicrafts of India. Popular hand-woven fabrics include silk, brocade and figured muslin, and popular hand-printed textile motifs include block and screen painting, kalamkari, batik, and bandhanis.
