Extra Weft

This is a form of decorative weaving where an extra count of yarn is inserted into a woven fabric to create motifs and designs. This insertion of an extra thread of yarn during the process of weaving is an advanced skill that uplifts the handiwork of a weaver. Since this enables the weaver to create Baavanbuti saris and fabrics in a vast range of patterns and designs which elevates the charm of the fabric they weave, understanding and learning this skill catapults their progress and reach in the world of textiles.

The Bun.Kar Bihar team has trained its community of weavers with added skills such as working with finer yarn counts, working with a variety of yarn, and understanding extra wefts to enhance not just the final product but to primarily help build their craftsmanship and elevate their talent. The brand is proud to present the traditional Baavanbuti saris and fabrics in a diverse collection of extra weft weaves as a result of the numerous workshops it has held to teach and develop this additional skill in weavers.
