Kanchipuram Saree Weavers House,

About Us

The Kancheepuram silk industry, with its 500-year-old tradition, is known for producing heavyweight stiff silk saris. The saris are woven with three ply, high denier threads using thick zari for supplementary warp and weft patterns that consist of unique and intricate designs. Silk threads are dyed in a variety of color. The threads are dipped in rice water and dried in Sun. Depending on the intricacy of design, it may take 20 to 30 days to weave a Kancheevaram Pattu Saree! (Kancheepuram Sarees are also known as Kanchipuram and Kancheevaram and sometimes Kanchivaram Sarees!)
