The Sankaranellur Weavers Cooperative P&s Society Ltd.

This place is a bit different because it’s a cooperative society. We are located at No. Hl. Ind. C 16 in Pathiriyad, specifically in Sankaranellur. The Sankaranellur Weavers Cooperative P&s Society Ltd. is where the local weavers come together. It's an old building, nothing modern about it, but it serves its purpose. We have the looms going and you can hear the clicking sound throughout the day. It’s a rhythmic noise that you just stop noticing after a while. Most of the folks here have been weaving since they were young. It’s a skill passed down through families in this part of Pathiriyad. We aren't trying to be a big industry giant. It’s about keeping the work going for the people in the society. Sometimes we have meetings to discuss the yarn prices or who needs what supplies. It’s very much a community thing. The office side is just a couple of desks with old ledgers. We don’t use much technology here, just the basics. If you visit, you’ll see the yarn being dyed or stretched out on frames. It’s honest work that takes a lot of patience. The building stays cool because of the high ceilings, which is lucky in the summer heat. We just take it one day at a time, making sure everyone has enough work to do and the orders get filled correctly. It’s how things have been done here for many years now.
