The jamdani fabric is a special type of hand loomed fabric made only in rural West Bengal, India. Weavers set yarn on a loom and weave it into fabric using pedals and shuttles. Jamdani features a special weave where each “buti,” or motif, is woven by hand using bamboo sticks and a needle, one weft line at a time, as the fabric itself is woven on a hand loom. The motif is woven by sight and takes great skill to master. It can take up to a week to weave enough fabric for one dress.
