Preparing the Yarn

An intricate art form, the making of Sambalpuri weaves is one of expertise and patience. At first, the cotton or silk yarn is placed and tied against a wooden frame to distribute the thread equitably and prevent inconsistency in the yarn.

Tying the Yarn

The second step involves the process of tying, to prepare the winded yarns for dyeing. In this process, the yarns are tightly arranged against a frame to prepare for tying. The artisan then marks the yarns according to the desired design after which a collection of knots are tied using thin and tiny synthetic threads.

Preparation for Dyeing

Once the yarns are tied for marking, they are immersed in soap water and boiled for a few good minutes. This helps to enhance the flexibility of the yarn while bringing out the texture before dyeing.
