How we make cloth
Spinning before sunrise
Twenty-two villages grow a single cotton varietal for our warp.
The dye bath never repeats
Jamun anthocyanin shifts with the monsoon; no two bolts match.
One weaver, one loom, one month
A jamdani sari consumes twenty-eight days of uninterrupted work.
The motif has a name
Each buti carries the weaver’s family signature, unchanged since 1947.
