Chanderi sarees are often referred to as woven air which is because of
the transparency and sheer texture of these sarees. Extra fine yarns
produce the high quality fabric, also these yarns do not go through the
degumming process to prevent breakage during weaving thus giving the
fabric a unique shine and texture.

Chanderi sarees were originally woven by weavers with handspun cotton
yarn as fine as 300 counts, and thus the reason behind the richness of the
fabric which is as famous as Muslins of Dhaka. The cotton of Chanderi
sarees are extracted from a special root called the Kolikanda, thus giving
the saree the light yet strong finish.

Chanderi sarees were mainly crafted by the muslim weavers at the beginning.
Gradually it moved to Chanderi, when the Koshti weavers from Jhansi
migrated to Chanderi in 1350 and settled down. During the 17th century
Chanderi was established as the hub of weaving Chanderi sarees and the
Mughals also opened karkhanas dedicated to the craft until 1677 when
the karkhana was ordered to shut down by Aurangzeb.

The butis on Chanderi sarees were woven with the help of needles and
seperate needles were used to create the motifs. The motifs were then
covered with gold, silver and copper dust by the weavers. Even though
Chanderi sarees are now available in bold colours like red, black, navy
blue, originally these were characterized by soft pastel colours.
