The current
trend of increasing use of organic materials, has found its way into the
experimental manufacture of the Baluchari Organic Sari. Fine blends of cotton
with both banana fibres and bamboo shoots replace the silk yarn, while acidic
dyes have been substituted with dyes made from extracts of fruits, vegetables,
leaves, turmeric etc.
Jamdhani hand
weaving is a necessary accompaniment for Bengal Silk sarees where cotton and gold thread weaving
create motifs of geometric patterns and floral designs in colourful hues.
Dhania Khali and thangail are popular weaving styles and the sarees like the Thangail Jamdhani weave have popular motifs like Nature, the sun, the moon and stars.
