Role you're checking

Handloom Weaver

Trades

Handloom weavers in India are custodians of GI-tagged textile traditions — Kanjeevaram (Tamil Nadu), Banarasi brocade (Uttar Pradesh), Pochampally IKAT (Telangana), and Chanderi (Madhya Pradesh) — producing fabrics whose motifs, weave structures, and yarn choices have not changed in centuries. The work is physically intensive and technically precise: warp preparation for 10,000+ ends, loom dressing, daily 6–12 hour weaving cycles on pit looms or frame looms, zari (gold/silver wire) integration into brocade work, and natural or azo-free dye-lot management. Weavers operate across family-run units in Varanasi, Kanchipuram, Pochampally, Chanderi, and Maheshwar; through state cooperative networks (NHDC, AP Handloom Weavers' Cooperative Society); and increasingly through direct brand collaborations with Raw Mango, House of Wandering Silk, Anavila, and Good Earth. Income varies dramatically — traditional village weavers earn ₹50K–2L/year while master weavers holding brand contracts earn ₹10–30L+.
