The appeal of Sambalpuri
mercerized Cotton sarees
The need for a fabric
similar to silk, which has lustre, strength, smoothness and soft feel, plus its
elasticity and desirable quality to acquire most colours and shades is provided
by mercerized cotton, a more affordable and appealing substitute. Cotton has
the best absorption capacity among fabrics and is a ‘breathing’ fabric which
allows free air movement.

This allows the body to cool and keeps it comfortable
in hot and sultry weather conditions. Mercerization is a treatment for
cellulosic materials like cotton fabric and thread that gives the fabric or
yarns a lustrous appearance, strengthens them and yet maintains the above
mentioned quality of pure cotton.

The Ikkat tie & dye
Sambalpuri Cotton sarees
The Ikkat style of
weaving is employed in the hand-woven Sambalpuri saree using geometrical
patterns. Ikkat is a technique which involves applying bindings, which resist
dye penetration to the threads in pre-determined patterns, and then dyeing the
threads. These dyed threads are then woven to produce the desired pattern.

Within the ikkat style are variants of
single-ikkat and double-ikkat. Alternately the tie-die method of weaving and
then dyeing, known as ‘bandhakala’ is also used. Here the threads are first
woven and the resist bindings then applied to the fabric before dyeing it. This
traditional art uses vegetable dyes to a large extent, with a leaning toward
artificial colours in present day creations. Black, yellow, orange, maroon, are
the preferred hues. Sambalpuri pure cotton sarees find
preference for daily-wear as well as for casual occasions and generally
housewives and college-goers choose to wear them.

There are some sarees that employ
the ikat style of tie-dye, where the threads are dyed with contrasting colours
before they are woven with a special ‘extra weft’ technique. Bright coloured
panels with extra motifs on a highly contrasting background make this tribal
art fabric uniquely stand out. Motif patterns commonly adorning the fabric are
bitter gourd, the atasi flower, the kanti-phul or small flower, peacocks and
birds, Konark temple, conches. In one saree the initial or large motif known as
Buttah, such a bird sitting on a tree, is woven on the body. This accentuates
the fabric look. The smaller motifs decorate the borders and pallu, and have
pomegranate seeds, Saara seeds and temple spires as popular subjects.
