Pochampally, in Telangana, India, is well-known for its
Pochampally brand of sarees, the base fabric being cotton, silk or a blend of
the two. The exquisite finish of the saree comes through the dyeing and weaving
of pre-coloured threads which are dyed according to the Ikat or Ikkat
technique.
The special technique of the
Pochampally silk weave
The Ikkat technique
involves applying bindings which resist dye penetration to the threads in
pre-determined patterns and then dyeing the threads. These threads are then
woven to produce the desired pattern. When several colours are used, the dyeing
process on the threads is repeated for each of the colours chosen. Then the
fabric is woven with the multi-coloured threads into the pattern. Within the
ikkat style of dyeing are methods of single-ikkat and double-ikkat. Single
ikkat has two variants – warp ikkat where the warp threads are dyed after
applying resists according to pattern on the warp threads. After that, only, is
the weaving done. In the weft ikkat it is the weft threads which are coloured
by applying resists before the dyeing and then weaving is done. In either case
the dyeing is done prior to the weaving so carefully that the pattern emerges
as the weave progresses. In the double ikkat method both the warp and weft
threads are dyed before weaving. Alternatively, in the tie-dye method it is
quite the reverse of the Ikkat style of dyeing. Here the threads are first
woven and the resist bindings then applied to the fabric before dyeing it.
Endearing features of the
Pochampally silk saree
The painstaking efforts of
the weavers in maintaining the purity of dyeing and weaving, including the
control and placement of threads during the weave contribute largely to the
complexity of the weave patterns and pleasing appearance of the sarees. Colours
that are employed for the dyeing of threads are fast and well-chosen. No wonder
the outcome of the Pochampally saree displays an extraordinary ethnic skill
that is hard to match. Current trends see Pochampally silk saris with
traditional designs, zari borders and elegant pallus with pleasing designs and
colourful prints, making it a must-buy for weddings, festivals, traditional
functions and even corporate wear.
