How the Loom weaves a story
Making Jamdani is very labor intensive. It involves a community of artisans, often a family of weavers or dyers, coordinating with each other, building upon years of tradition. Once the desired yarn has been procured from the market, the following processes are involved in creating a finished product. Step 1. Dyeing - Yarns (in hanks) are hand dyed by the local dyers. Finer the yarn, the more difficult its dyeing. The yarn needs careful handling as consistent water treatment reduces its strength. Step 2. Reeling - Reeling of dyed yarns into spools is done by hand on the “charkhas” or spinning wheels. For handspun cotton, the dyed thread is strengthened and softened by soaking overnight in a solution of rice water starch, allowing the women to wind it more easily onto bobbins. It is tedious work done early in the morning, usually between 4 and 9, before the increasing heat dries the thread, making it more difficult to handle. Step 3. Warping/Drumming - The wound bobbins are sent to another worker who prepares the warp on a beam. Warp yarns are laid out on a large wooden wheel-like structure called a “drum...or beam” as per the specified warping pattern. Step 4. Healding - After drumming, threading of yarns is done through needle-like healds and then passed through the reed (a comb like structure to beat the weft in place at the time of weaving). Healding is done early in the morning, in bright light. It’s a tedious process and needs a lot of precision. Step 5. Weaving - Fabric is woven using the fly shuttle in traditional pit looms. Weaving a jamdani is a matter of skill and patience...and when it is done using fine yarn, it requires even more endurance from the weaver. The yarn has a tendency to break if too much strength is applied or entangle if the tension is not just right...hence weaving is slow and time consuming. Step 6. Finishing - After weaving, the ends in each piece are knotted and fringe finished. Then the piece is washed to remove all traces of gum/starch...and finally ironed.

For those of you using a 44-inch wide fabric, this guide suggests measurements for a standard L Size. Think of this as your starting point. If you're working with different sizes or fabric widths, just adjust up or down accordingly. Hope this helps!
When it comes to how much fabric you'll need, it really depends on the design. We'd recommend having a chat with your designer or tailor before you order, just to be on the safe side.

In business attire, you have fewer options for wearing a cape or scarf. But when it comes to casual wear, there are plenty of ways to wear a steal. You can tie it up, pleat or just let it flow on its own.
Most scarves are designed to be worn around the head or neck, but stoles are not. A stole is a longer piece of fabric, usually rectangular or square, but sometimes triangular. A stole is usually longer than a shawl. It is light and can be used in various scenes.
Choose the right stole It should be long enough to be draped across your neck and broad enough to experiment with stylistic drapery.
A stole is a woman's long shawl worn loosely over the shoulders while a scarf is simply a length of fabric we wear around the neck or head.
Elegant hand-crafted silk-cotton stoles that can be paired with ethnic and western clothes for a office & festive look
