The hand-made designs are a class apart from their Jaquared counterparts. The weft (path of the shuttle) is used to create multi-color designs. With the help of a needle the different colored threads are meticulously passed through the required number of longitudinal (warp) threads, and jammed. With every travel of the shuttle the design gradually comes to life. |
