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.
