Patola Saree are recognized for their blazing bright colours and geometric designs interweaved with folk motifs. Every patola Saree is one of its kinds as it is fashioned completely with the imagination and expertise of the weaver.
Fabric in Patola Saree:
Patola Saree is woven from silk known as the patola silk. The patola silks are still made by a handful of master weavers from Patan and Surat known for their zari work.
The Process:
A Patola Saree takes 4 to 6 months to make, depending on how complex the design is. The Patan patola is done in the Double ikat style, which is possibly the most intricate textile design in the world. Every fabric consists of a sequence of warp threads and a lone weft thread, which binds the warp threads collectively. Each one of the warp threads is tied and dyed according to the pattern of the Saree, such that the knotted sections of the thread do not catch the colours. The result is that both sides of the Saree look precisely similar as if it is printed on both sides with identical designs, and can be worn both ways.
