A loom is an equipment that’s used for weaving textiles. A handloom is manually operated by the weaver; a power loom, on the other hand, is automated and runs on electricity. The warp (the length of the fabric) is stretched across the handloom; the weaver sits at one end of the handloom and places the weft threads in ‘shuttles’, passing them through the width of the warp yarns to create the textile. Handlooms are of three kinds – pit looms, stand looms and frame looms. In a broader sense, the Ministry of Textiles defines a handloom as one that requires human intervention. Many of the weavers in the RmKV facility in Tamil Nadu use pit looms to create our handwoven Kanchipuram silk sarees and award-winning innovations.
