Product Techniques
The handloom jala technique is one of the oldest in the history of weaving. It was used in the 19th century. Earlier when the design required fabric the weaver used the Jala technique. In this technique, a Jala frame is required in which there is the Pagia, Naka, and Khewa are the main important parts of this Jala. It produces both in-border and cross-border designs on the cloth. In this technique, we used an extra weft to fill the design.
