About the Craft
Handloom weaving in Kerala has been the cornerstone of the state's textile heritage for centuries, with weavers developing exceptional expertise in creating traditional garments like dhotis. The production of this dhoti follows meticulous processes that begin with yarn preparation. Quality cotton yarns in 26s count are selected for both warp and weft, ensuring a balanced, medium-weight fabric that drapes beautifully whilst remaining durable. The yarn dyeing process happens before weaving, allowing colours to penetrate deeply into the fibres for superior colour fastness and vibrancy. Weavers carefully set up their looms, arranging the pink warp threads with calculated sections of dark purple to create the distinctive border pattern. The white striping requires precise thread placement to achieve the clean, crisp lines that define the design. As the weaver works the shuttle back and forth, the fabric gradually takes shape, with each pass of the weft building up the textile's body and character. The handloom process creates subtle texture variations that distinguish authentic handwoven fabric from machine-made alternatives. Once complete, the dhoti is carefully inspected, finished and hemmed to ensure it meets quality standards.
Speciality
The dhoti's speciality lies in its sophisticated colour combination and authentic handloom construction. The pink and purple palette offers a contemporary alternative to traditional white whilst maintaining the garment's cultural significance. The yarn-dyed process ensures colours remain vibrant through years of use and washing.
How to Care?
Machine wash or hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not bleach to preserve colours. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, dry in shade to maintain colour vibrancy. Iron on medium heat for a crisp appearance. The cotton fabric softens naturally with each wash.
This handloom cotton pink dhoti combines Kerala's weaving excellence with contemporary aesthetics, offering a quality garment that honours tradition whilst meeting modern lifestyle needs.
