This process of tie-dye thread before weaving is called Ikat. The royal fabric has a rich trading history all over the world. Silk is the symbol of royalty due to its qualities like soft feel, elegant and classic appearance, and high cost of production. Silk is also a very popular textile in high end and haute couture designs. What makes silk special is it lets your skin breathe and contributes to your comfort. Silk is made up of larvae of silkworm and contains protein which is why this is hypoallergenic (unlikely to cause allergies) among all other fabrics. The technique involves a lot of effort and hard work. Firstly, the silkworms are fed mulberry leaves. After 27-37 days, silkworms stop eating and are ready to spin their cocoon. It took 3-8 days to form a cocoon. This process is known as harvesting cocoons or raising silkworms. Once the cocoons are formed, it is then placed into the boiling water to dissolve the gum that holds the cocoon. This process is known as thread extraction. These silk threads are then coloured with natural dye or acid dye this process is called Dyeing. Now comes the magical step - spinning and weaving. For wash care, always use mild washing gel, which is used for silk and wool. Using water at a normal temperature and not rubbing the fabric. Always dry in shade to preserve the colour of the fabric. While storing, always use a box, wrap the saree in the paper for protection.
Pochampally, aka Ikat, is the technique where threads are tied and dyed - an ancient flavour with the perfect combination of silk and cotton. This saree originates from the Pochampally region in Telangana and is popularly known for its beautiful patterns and vibrant colours. Six yards of vibrant colours and elegance will surely steal some hearts.
