About the Craft HISTORY OF WARANGAL DHURRIES Warangal handloom dhurries may be traced back to when the Mughal army entered the Deccan region of Southern India. It is inspired by the jainamaaz, or the flat-weave prayer rug used by people in the late 1600s. Today, Warangal dhurrie weavers primarily belong to the Padmasali community and the craft is practised by people individually or as part of co-operatives. HOW IT IS CRAFTED The dhurries are mostly made using cotton yarns, with wool or jute making occasional appearances. Sometimes, artisans may add linen, viscose, and/or polyester to give the dhurries a more contemporary look. The traditional handloom dhurries are woven on pit looms and frame looms. As a pre-weaving step, the yarns are dyed in desired colours depending on the design in mind. Generally, only the yarns to be used in the weft are dyed. White or natural beige-coloured yarns are used in the warp. Conventionally, the yarns would be starched and/or bleached to add stiffness to them. Once ready, both the warp and weft yarns are set on the handloom and interlocked into beautiful dhurries with symmetrical patterns. Warangal dhurries are known for their geometric and angular patterns. Floral and tribal patterns are also common and their overall scope has expanded further due to the inclusion of ‘ikat’ and ‘kalamkari’ techniques. In terms of design and structure, dhurries are available in flat-weave patterns as well as flat-weave with raised weft patterns; the former is said to be sturdier due to the “compactness of the weft”.  It is also considered to be the more preferred form of the Warangal dhurrie due to its symmetrical designs and the simplicity of its pattern structure. The handloom dhurries are facing stiff competition from their power-loom counterparts, despite the fact that handloom dhurries are more durable. Each handloom dhurrie is also unique since no two handcrafted products can ever be exactly the same.
