Fine Silky tales of the Dupion Silk Sarees

The Dupion Silk Saree has a charismatic appeal in its unique pattern of weaving, with Nature guiding tradition on the design.       

Dupion is also known as Dupioni or Douppioni. Dupion Silk is one of the purest silks in its natural form. It is easily distinguished from other forms of silk by its inherent property of lumps or silk knots within the yarn fabric.

This happens when two silkworms in creating their own cocoons, spin them so close to each other that the yarn gets tangled up. The yarn of tangled fibres is taken up in the same form in making the silk thread. The spun thread is thick, coarse and has bumps and irregularities.

The inherent qualities of the Dupion Silk Saree makes it suitable for dyeing the yarn to any colour, is  comparatively easy to sew, and is highly wrinkle-resistant. The creases on the fabric form so well that it assumes a crisp and neat look. The uneven weave with nubs (lumps of yarn) showing at regular intervals form an unconscious pattern indicative of an underlying design.

Dupion silk does not have stretch ability hence measurements would have to be exact before cutting out patterns. Also, the texture is not as fine as other silks and edges have a tendency of unravelling.

Double cocoons are usually reeled on the Charakha, or hand-spinning wheel. But the Dupion Reeling Machine has also been introduced and these days they are also used. Karnataka, is one of the main producers of this type of yarn.

The Dupion Silk Saree is woven with two threads apart from the nubs which create a shimmering effect when the fabric is viewed from certain angles.

Dupion Silk Sarees are low priced when compared to pure silk sarees. With adornments of pearls, beads, kundans and sequins they are much-preferred wear for wedding ceremonies.

Exclusive Dupion Silks with Bagru block prints, woven in the Bandhani tie-dye style are most fascinating. The Fancy Dupion Silk Saree having embroidered patch borders is also most charming.

Latest trends of block circle and diamond prints on the Dupion Silk Saree with printed border and designer pallu to match, is definitely a fashion fabric for college parties, corporate conferences and traditional festivals.

 Zari buttis on the Dupion Silk sari have a resham border that render a beautiful sight. They are most suitable for wedding functions, as bridal attire and for social get-togethers.

Dupion Silk is one of the natural and purest silk with neat look. It is such a beautiful silk woven from two different coloured fabrics gives shimmering effect. The weavers made it as a highly-wrinkle resistant fabric.

The evidence about the history and origin of Dupion is identified in India. Dupion is purely an Indian variety, Karnataka is one of the major producers of this type of synthetic fibre.

Dupion is basically lighter in weight and smoother in cloth where the creases form so well that the fabric assumes a crisp and neat look. It has an exclusive irregular pattern with lumps of yarn which lends its uniqueness.

The major equipment or tools required in making Dupion silk are: silk worms, sewing machine, substantial underline, natural and metallic colours and skilled workers.

In weaving of Dupion, warp and weft plays a major role where they together produce such a flawless plain weave crisp type of fabric.

In order to make the Silk threads, two different silk worms are used by weaver, where the two worms spin (warp) their cocoons closer to get the fibre tangled up (weft). These tangled fibres together make the silk thread.

A sewing machine is used by the weaver in order to furnish the resultant rough silk threads. To protect the fabric from sunlight, here a substantial underline is used by the weaver.

Dupion silk often comes in different colours of threads, designs and styles. In dyeing, weavers produce the fabric with rainbow like colours. Many natural and metallic colours are used in order to explore an extravagance of fabric. Dupion not only stuck to saris, salwar suits, lehengas, kurtis, but also observed in many household things like curtains, bed sheets, pillow covers, scarves, etc.
