WEAVING IN KANcheePURAM
According to Hindu mythology, Kanchi silk weavers are the descendants of Sage Markanda, the master weaver of Gods who is supposed to have woven tissue from lotus fiber. Also, while cotton is considered to be the favourite fabric of Lord Shiva, silk was preferred by Lord Vishnu. The thread which is used in the weaving process is in turn made of three single threads twisted together which makes the sari comparatively stronger and expensive than the other varieties like Arni, Dharmavaram, etc. The specialty of Kancheepuram sari is that in 1.2 inches of warp frame there will be 60 holes.
