CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The handloom was devised about 2000 Years ago and was brought to
England by the Romans. The process consisted of interlacing one set of threads
of yarn (the warp) with another (the weft). The warp threads are stretched
lengthwise in the weaving loom. The wefts, the cross-threads, are woven into the
warp to make the cloth.
Kerala, the greenish land lies between the western ghat and Arabian Sea,
about 15000 square miles with varying scenic beauty. Kerala is known as the
epitome of India. Historically Kerala has long been a land of racial mixture and
co-existence.
Earlier they were producing cloth for their own consumption and for the
need of their village. Increase in production and improvement in transport
facilities removed the hindrances of time and easy the exchange of commodities.
The skill of weaving has been passed from parents to children.
During 15th century, British, French and Portuguese people visited Kerala.
The things like spices, ivory and beauty of handloom fabrics attracted them. They
began to purchase large quantities and exported to their countries.
Germany has established a mission called ‘Basal mission’ in 1829. This mission
paved the way of changing form home production to factory system. Apart from
this, French people started to give training in weaving. The imported versatile
loom and introduced principle designs from hooks.
After the British captured India they took up and nourished handloom
industries fro the purposes. At the end of 18 th century the monopoly came to an
end. Since 19th century with the advent of Industrial revolution, The English
people gave up all. They started mechanical production in their land during this
period of foreigners the weavers of Kerala learned al techniques and they
paralleled the way for the production of furnishing fabrics according to the new
style of demand.
During the dawn of 20th century, the Sree Narayana movement influenced
Kerala society by and large prompting the caste-based culture to change towards
do away with the to day tapping to respond with the advice of Sree Narayana
Guru. These changes also have its own mark in making the present shape of
Kerala handloom industry. It has resulted in the production of various types for
artistic handloom goods in Kerala.
The women all over India for their fineness of count and natural colours,
texture and gold borders praise the ‘Kerala Kasavu Sarees’. Kerala is also known
for its unbleached cotton handloom crepe popularly known as ‘Kora’ cloth this
has entered in the foreign market and occupied a proud place in the garment
industry.
The secret of furnishing fabrics from Malabar is the excellent structure and
texture of the cloth, unique colour combination, wide width (98” - 120” ) and
craftsman ship. When we look back to the history of Kerala, it can be seen that in
1498 vascode Gama, the Portuguese navigator visited Calicut in Malabar. So it is
well known that 15th century handloom cloths of excellent qualities were exported
to Asian and European countries.
