The shuttle passes through the opens formed when the pedal is operated to interlock the threads of warp. Artisan use different colors of contrasting threads while weaving to create designs. The proton of woven cloth is wounded to the wooden beam, which is located in front of the weaver. After weaving of 6 yards of fabric, the portion of unwoven warp is intentionally left before and after the sari weaving, which is later knotted for fringe.
