Handloom refers to use of wooden frames of various kinds by skilled artisans to weave fabrics from natural fibers. This industry has historically seen the production being taken care of by the weaver's family, right from spinning the yarn to weaving on the loom. Indian handlooms date back to the Indus Valley Civilization, and one of the most prominent of these handlooms are the Banarasi textiles.
