Zari warping for Borders
Gold Lace Section: Warping for Borders:
The gold, silver and silk is imported from Surat. It consists of 0.65% gold and 65% silver.
i) Gold Warping:
A smaller version of the warp machine is used in the gold lace section.
The gold threads from the bobbins are transferred into rolls for the warp.
Small versions of the shuttles are used in the weaving.
ii) Gold Weft:
All 3 materials are wound into one bobbin which in turn is converted into a pirn to fit into the shuttle for the weft.
