The khesh weaving process is simple and intriguing. The warp is made with new yarn and the weft is with strips of thin cloth obtained by tearing old sarees length wise.
The tearing process which is as labour intensive as weaving is typically done by female members of the weaver’s household. The old saree is first torn into five or six parts lengthwise. One end of each part , say about five inches is then torn into strips. The tearer then picks out alternate strips and holds them together in one hand, and the remaining in the other hand. He then pulls in two opposite directions giving him many strips at one go. Typically a saree yields about seventy five to eighty strips. This saree is a beautiful example of reuse/recycle!
