The borders of Kanchipuram silk are mostly woven in contrasting shades. One weaver weaves at the right side of the shuttle while at the same time the other weaver weaves the saree from the left shuttle. The Kanchipuram sarees are woven using three shuttles. KANCHIPURAM SILK SAREE - INDULGE IN THE BEAUTY OF THE WEAVE The silk is called ‘pattu’ in Tamil and so the sarees are also called Kanchipuram pattu sarees. The pure mulberry silk comes from South India while the gold and silver zari comes from Gujarat. Kanchipuram silk sarees, also known as kanjivaram silk sarees, are woven from pure mulberry silk. The luxurious weaves, soft fabric, classic sheen, and embellished zari work put the saree on a pedestal. Kanchipuram silk exudes a royal vibe and enthralls every generation. Kanchipuram Pattu sarees are impeccably crafted with beautiful traditional patterns and are known for their richness and grandeur.
Back then, Kanchipuram sarees were woven by the descendants of Sage Markanda, who was considered to be the master weaver for the Gods. The weaving of Kanchipuram silk sarees started around 400 years ago in the small temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu.
