Sri Samundi Handloom Weavers Producer Company Limited

You will find Sri Samundi Handloom Weavers Producer Company Limited at 4/97 N. Mettu Street in Sandaipettai Post. We are in Neikkarapatti, which is in the Salem district, pincode 636010. This is a place where handloom weaving is a big part of life. We are a producer company, which means we are made up of the people who actually do the work on the looms. It is a very traditional way of doing things. There aren't many big machines here, just the sound of the wooden handlooms clicking back and forth. It takes a lot of physical effort and your back can get sore after a long day of sitting and moving the shuttle. We don’t have a marketing department to tell our story. We just show up to the Mettu Street workshop and get to work on the cotton or silk. The air is often filled with the smell of dye and the sound of neighbors talking across the street. We work together to make sure everyone has what they need to keep weaving. It is not a fast process, but that is the nature of handloom. Sometimes the weather affects the yarn, or the electricity goes out, but we just wait it out or work by the light from the door. We are just local people keeping a local craft alive in our small corner of Salem, taking things one thread at a time.
