Fine design sarees in vibrant colours with the Napthol Block Prints

Block printing is a very popular form of printing traditionally from Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is a fine form of printing - quick, simple and requiring very little effort in the printing compared to other forms. And the results are extraordinary.

The special attraction of Napthol block prints
Fine, clear and very detailed prints are available through block printing. Napthol dyes used in block printing produces extraordinarily fine creations because the dye does not spread and the block allows for detailed prints to be imprinted on the fabric finely. Napthol provides for fastness or good colour adhesion. Cotton and other cellulose fibres and silk are easily dyed with Napthol dyes. Napthol is a cold water dye, meaning that it can mix well at any temperature, not like fibre reactive dyes which can only mix at a certain temperature. Napthol suits batik painting very well since it would not melt the wax used as resist for setting the dye. Naphthol dyes do not spread onto adjacent areas or ‘bleed’. Hence contrast colours could be used side by side safely. The resulting colour obtained is from the insoluble particle lodged deeply within the fabric fibres. Napthol dyes are comparatively cheaper than fibre reactive dyes.

Tribal art sarees - Extraordinary Skill and Craftsmanship on display

The Saree which is a very fine canvas for the display of any ethnic art is amply used to display the exceptional skills of the tribals in some form or the other. Hand painting which is done on sarees is one of such. Hand painted saris especially from the tribal belt of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Bengal and Orissa demonstrate the fine craft executed with finesse.


The essence of Tribal art
The tribal artisans paint patterns, motifs, scenes from the epics, tribal dancing, wedding scenes, ordinary village life, animals, birds, floral designs and other subjects and themes on fabrics like pure silk, cotton and sico. They transfer themes onto fabrics using locally available materials, vegetable and organic dyes and through elementary methods of drawing and tracing on the fabric and then painting on them. The beauty of such art lies in the craftsmanship in fine detailing, right colour combinations, and extraordinarily neat finish that speaks volumes about their unique skills. The work is spread over one or two months and undertaken by a small group of similarly skilled artisans who do justice to their creations. Unique to this art is the the way in which designs and themes from folklore and scenes from the epics are done on the fabric.


There is a little use of tracings or sketching on the sarees, and the sharpness or detailing comes out so fine, it is difficult to believe that it is the work of hand. The colours used are to the right consistency and do not spread making them masterpieces of canvas art.

Ikkat - Fine Display Of Skills And Creativity Through Colours

Ikkat is a dyeing technique involving the application of dye resistant bindings in a pre-determined pattern prior to the colouring of threads. The resulting creation would expectedly surface in a lyrical colour extravaganza of finesse and precision.  
  
Ikat, or Ikkat, is a dyeing technique wherein bindings or substances resisting dye penetration are applied over the fibres in pre-determined patterns and then the threads are dyed. Alteration of bindings and using more than one colour for dyeing produces multi-coloured thread effect. Removal of the bindings and the subsequent weaving of the threads would form the desired pattern woven in the fabric. 


The determining characteristic of ikat is the dyeing of patterns, by means of bindings, on the threads prior to the weaving of the fabric.  More the precision in the application of the resist bindings, finer would be the pattern formed.

Tie and Dye is also a similar dyeing method but with a difference. Here the fabric is woven first and the resist bindings are then applied to the fabric before colouring.


Ikkat is classified into single-ikkat and double-ikat styles.

Single Ikat fabric are created by interweaving tied and dyed warp with plain weft or resisted weft yarns is inserted in plain weft.

Double ikat involves the process of resisting on both warp and weft and then interlacing them to form intricate yet well composed patterns.


In warp ikat the dyeing of the threads would be of the warp (lengthwise lay of threads) across which the plain weft (feed of thread woven breadth wise across the warp) is led through.

In weft ikat it would be vice versa. In double ikat both the warp threads and the weft threads would be dyed separately and then woven together.


In warp ikat the patterns are evident on the warp lay even before the weft is introduced. Ikat created by dyeing the warp is simple as compared to the making of either weft ikat or double ikat.

First the yarn is tied in bundles. Yarn could be silk, cotton, jute or any other fibre chosen as base material. The resist bindings in the form of wax or any other dye resistant material, is then applied over the yarn. The dye is applied carefully and systematically and according to the desired shade.


The procedure of application of resist bindings afresh for different colours is repeated till the dyeing process of all colours used is complete. 

Washed and dried in shade, the coloured threads are laid out on the loom and the weft on small spindles is used to interweave across the warp threads to create the fabric. Important is the pattern that has to surface accurately on the warp for which the alignment of the warp threads is a pre-requisite. If the alignment is precise, the resulting motif comes out as a fine print rather than as a weave. 


Here the skill of the weaver comes into play. The warp threads are manually raised selectively to allow the weft thread to pass through and how keenly this follows the intended design determines the fineness of the resulting pattern on the fabric. 
 
Patterns can be formed vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
Weft ikat is preferred when it is the overall look that is important and not the precision of the patterns. Double ikkat is even rarer and an example is the Patola saree of Gujarat. Lesser accurate or poor imitation double ikkat versions are available in the market. 


The artistic excellence of ikat prints can be gauged from its traditional motifs of flowers, dancing girl, creepers, leafs, parrot, animals, birds, mythological characters and geometrical patterns. Most of the ikkat printed sarees have repeated geometrical patterns of diamonds (rattan chowk), circles, squares, lines etc. 

Pochampally in Andhra Pradesh and the Rajkot Patola weave of Gujarat are famous for their individual brand of ikkat sarees. Ikkat prints are trending and high fashion on a variety of fabrics like pure cotton, pure silk, georgette, crepe and supernet, to mention some.

South Indian handloom cotton sarees of ikkat prints having zari border with an elegant pallu are classic. They are apt for daily casual, office and outings.  

The Designer Rajkot Patola Pure Silk Ikkat printed sari having embroidered border and pallu embellished with crystals and beads is an exquisite creation. These are preferred wear for weddings, as bridal attire, for festivals and grand social occasions.

The Georgette half and half pattern saree with ikat prints is a stylish affair that would go well with parties and informal functions.

The shine and shimmer of the Narayanpet Pattu silk sarees

The Narayanpet Saree, a ‘fine’ silk fabric characterized by zari checks pattern on the body, contrast colour temple border and plain border on the sides is traditionally from Narayanpet, a town in Telangana, India.

The Kerala Cotton Sari –Tradition In A Modern Format

The Kerala Cotton Saree is an adaption of the Mundum Neriyathum, the traditional attire of Malayali women since historic times, and modified suitably to modern tastes.

The Kerala Cotton Sari has evolved from the Mundum Neriyathum, the traditional attire of women in the South Indian state of Kerala. In fact the MunduNeriyathum can be said to have influenced the creation of the modern Saree.


Once woven by hand alone, the Kerala Cotton Handloom Sarees have slowly given way to the manufacture of the Kerala Cotton Saree by power looms. Hand embroidered motifs have also been replaced by designer prints of the motif.    
    
The Kerala Cotton Saree with golden, copper-coloured or Zari borders for a white or cream fabric, also known as Kasavu Saree, is specially made to be worn during festivals and auspicious occasions. As with Mundum Neriyathum, the blouse matches the Kerala Cotton Saree for festive occasions with colours based on the age and marital status of the woman. A green coloured blouse would be for young, unmarried girls, while the married and middle aged women wear red blouses.


Modern day prints on the cotton fabric with coloured borders and popular designs of peacock and temple adorning the pallu, have made the Kerala Cotton Handloom Saree popular as daily wear.       

Historically, the Mundum Neriyathum, or the two piece cotton fabric worn since ancient times, is still a traditional costume. The Neriyathu, draping the upper torso, from right hip to left shoulder over the blouse, with the portion beyond the shoulder left hanging, has come from Buddhist and Jain influences of ancient India, with the coloured borders of the garment supposedly being borrowed from Greco-Roman culture.


In simple form it is daily wear, in the Kasavu form it is grand and meant for festival wear

Modern day prints on the cotton fabric with coloured borders and popular designs of peacock and temple adorning the pallu, have also made the Kerala Cotton Handloom Saree popular as daily wear.       

The Kerala Cotton Saree is woven from unbleached cotton or Kora cloth. With a golden Jari border and  motifs of animals, birds, peacocks, flowers, fruits and leaves, it is highly popular. Adding style to the handloom saree are motifs of checks and stripe patterns on wooden block prints using vegetable dyes.  


A popular variety of the Kerala Cotton Saree has Zari Buttas and a Resham Zari Border, coupled with an elegant pallu, preferred as occasion wear in corporate offices, colleges and schools. It also appeals as novel wear during festivals.     

Equally enticing the Kerala Cotton Sari with block printed motifs and multi-thread embroidered border in half-half pattern with contrasting colours. It makes it suitable for daily casual, office wear during summer and traditional functions.


Online websites such as Unnati Silks, with a large collection of traditional and trendy Kerala Cotton Handloom Sarees, with beautiful prints, broad borders, exquisite pallus, could be the answer to getting the Kerala Cotton Sarees of choice and quality at reasonable prices.
