WHAT MAKES KANJIVARAM SAREE SO UNIQUE?
There is a unique characteristic about Kanchipuram sarees that differentiates it from the rest of the silk sarees manufactured in India. The weaving method uses three shuttles. These sarees have very distinct and vibrant colours which are complementary to one another. The border, the pallu and the body of the saree are usually different colours. Hence, they are woven separately. This unique technique is known as Korvai that uses interlocked weft weaving technique. The Petni Technique refers to the pallu being woven in a different colour that requires changes in warp. It is adorned with heavy zari motifs whereas the body of the saree is woven in simplistic designs and patterns, inspired from the Dravidian era.
These two pieces of fabric are joined together in a zig-zag pattern at the end, which makes it extremely strong.
