• Our chief material, cotton fabric is bought on the local market.
• We check for quality ensuring the cotton has good colour absorbency.
• The cotton fabric is cleaned and sent to the environmentally friendly dying unit.
• After dying the cotton is dried in the sunlight.
• Women come into the project in the morning to collect their weighed materials and prepare the threads. Apart from on-site training purposes, the women carry out the weaving in their homes.
• The cotton threads are stretched out around wooden poles, to prepare the quantity of material needed. The colour pattern is also established at this stage, and the ordered threads are then ready to be transferred onto the loom.
• Normally a seven meter long and 40cm width cloth is prepared in two days.
• The women bring the woven fabric into the office and once again it is weighed and the payment is made accordingly.
• The fabric is then cut, and sewn into bags.
• The finished products go through quality control and are then dispatched to customers. |
