What is Jamdani Weaving?
Jamdani is a type of woven fabric. It is made using a discontinuous weft technique.
This means that extra weft threads are added by hand while weaving the fabric.
These extra threads are used to create intricate motifs directly into the weave.
The weaver adds denser thread to the fine warp threads by hand.
This makes the Jamdani technique very different from simply embroidering on top of the fabric. The motif is integral to the weave itself.
It is a highly labour-intensive and time-consuming process.
Origin and History of Jamdani:
Jamdani weaving is believed to be a fusion of ancient cloth-making techniques from Bengal.
The weave is indigenous to Bangladesh.
The name 'Jamdani' is of Persian origin. It comes from the word "jam" meaning flower and "dani" meaning vase. This reflects the common floral motifs used.
Jamdani is also popularly known as Dhakai Jamdani, or simply Dhakai, referring to its origins around Dhaka, Bangladesh.
