Pochampally Handloom is popularly known for its unique style of weaving, designing & dye. The fabric is the result of Vinoba Bhave’s “Bhoodan Movement” back in 1951. Originally, pochampally weaving started with its unique Ikat fabric along with other traditional weaves and the handlooms were innovated for the first time in the year 1999. Other techniques like tie & dye with natural dyes on cotton, silk or cotton and silk blend will allow the color to retain for a long time added with durability.
