x+l Lounge Chair Fabric Swatches

This fabric woven by Zanav Home is made up of a very coarse open end cotton yarn plied with hand spun silk yarn to add addition strength. The silk yarn is made from mulberry silk waste which gives it a unique and uneven texture. The yarns are dyed to achieve the desired colours and woven on primitive looms whose frames are sunken in the ground. These pit looms are ideal for weaving fabrics like Thasra as the ground absorbs the tension of the heavy weaving, which is not possible with conventional looms. The process of spinning to weaving to finishing is done entirely by hand which translates into the character of the fabric. Inconsistencies in colour and texture are characteristic of this fabric.
