Weaving is an ancient art of making clothes and other fabrics and Indians have always been expert in weaving since ancient period. Weaving is the process of making clothes, rugs, blankets and other products by crossing two sets of threads over and under each other. Weaving in Indian villages, especially West Bengal has been a hobby since time immemorial. Weaving has even become a major industry in the contemporary period.
