Pochampally has
traditional looms, whose design is more than a century-old. Basking under the
glory on par with the weavers of other places, Pochampally weave is popularly
known as tie and dye weave. The uniqueness lies in the transfer of design and
colouring onto warp and weft threads first and then weaves them together. The
fabric is cotton, silk and sico - a mix of silk and cotton. Increasingly, the
colours themselves are from natural sources and their blends. The
consumer-weaver interactions provide inputs for new designs. The weavers from
the older and new generation have shown resilience and adapted themselves to
the changing tastes of the consumers.
