From Thread to Plaid – The Journey of Fabric

Every check or plaid fabric starts with a simple dhaga (thread). Skilled artisans carefully select high-quality yarns, which are then dyed into different colors. These threads are stretched and arranged on looms, where the weaving magic happens.

By crossing colored threads horizontally (weft) and vertically (warp), the checked or plaid pattern is born. The process requires precision, as even a small mistake in alignment can change the design. Once woven, the fabric is treated, softened, and finished to make it durable yet comfortable to wear.

From a single thread to a finished shirt or dress, plaid fabric tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition that continues to inspire designers around the globe.
