What exactly is a handloom saree?

A  ‘handloom’ is a loom that is used to weave cloth without the need for electricity. Hand weaving of sarees happens on pit looms, or frame looms located in the weavers’ homes. Weaving is primarily the interlacing of two sets of yarn – the warp (length) and the weft (width). When this warp and weft sprinkled with some design is weaved, we get the magical piece of unstitched cloth called the saree.
