Pochampally Ikat Cotton Yardage Fabric Telangana Nalgonda
Contributed by Swadesi Knowledge Team
While Pochampally sarees are well known, the less celebrated yardage (shirting and furnishing fabric) produced in Bhoodan Pochampally village in Nalgonda district represents a massive volume of ikat weaving for commercial fashion and home textile markets. Pochampally ikat uses resist-dyeing of warp and weft yarns before weaving to produce geometric and floral bleed patterns in both cotton and silk. Over 5000 looms operate in Bhoodan Pochampally alone. The Pochampally Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society has built a world-class showroom and weaver park. International fashion designers source Pochampally ikat yardage for ready-to-wear collections. GI certification and UNESCAP Asia Pacific recognition have raised global awareness.
