Mixed return (social and commercial) technology
Usually, the process of making a tie and dye' silk saree in Pochampally tradition begins with the selection of silk thread. Using the process of Asu, a triangular shape is given to the threads and designs are drawn on this shape. Tying is done where required as per the design and the threads are then dyed in selected colours. Once dried and untied, the dyed silk threads are rolled into spindles. The spindles are used appropriately in looms and the saree is woven.The Laxmi Asu machine, created by Mallesham in Andhra Pradesh, has relieved women from 8-9 hours of labour everyday. This has brought a revolution in the weaver community. An Indian Patent has been filed for the Innovation. The innovator has sold more than 500 units of the same.
The process of making a 'tie and dye' silk saree in Pochampally tradition will be much easier with this machine.
