Roving
Harvested cotton is ginned, & then carded, drawn, & combed to get the roving cotton.
-
Spinning
Ambara charaka, a mechanical tool, is used by the rural women folk of north Karnataka to spin the yarn.
-
Dyeing
If not natural-dyed, our yarn is Azo-free VAT dyed. In pic: our dyer in Gadag district.

Warping
Warping is one of the most important processes of "designing" the textile. In pic: a ready warp frame.

Winding
Ambara charaka handspun yarn is wound both on warp and weft bobbins.

Frame-loom is used to weave our fabric. In pic: a weaver on the loom in the Hubli district.
