Method and technique

The Traditional Macrame Knotting And Handloom Weaving Methodology Actively Implemented By 108 Knots

Method and Technique of 108 Knots are:

Localized Cotton Yarn Procurement: The enterprise utilizes a highly rigorous ecological sourcing method, actively procuring premium, eco-friendly natural cotton threads directly from responsible suppliers in Ahmedabad to successfully ensure the foundational materials are incredibly durable, safe, and completely biodegradable.
Artisanal Hand-Dyeing Process: 108 Knots employs a deeply authentic and careful coloration technique, actively collaborating with local dyers to manually treat the raw cotton threads, successfully ensuring an even color distribution and exceptional colorfastness without relying on highly polluting automated industrial dyeing machines.
Manual Macramé Knotting: They utilize an incredibly intricate, human-centric fabrication method, actively deploying thoroughly trained women artisans to meticulously tie, knot, and weave the cotton threads completely by hand, successfully creating complex geometric patterns for their signature bags and home decor.
Banana Stem Fibre Extraction: The organization employs a highly sustainable agricultural upcycling technique, deliberately partnering with local farmers in Karnali to mechanically extract robust, water-resistant fibres from the inner bark of discarded banana pseudostems, effectively turning agricultural waste into premium weaving material.
Traditional Handloom Weaving: 108 Knots utilizes a historically significant textile fabrication method, actively deploying skilled rural artisans to manually operate traditional handlooms, skillfully interlacing the extracted banana fibres and cotton yarns to successfully create highly durable, beautifully textured fabrics and table runners.
Zero-Plastic Eco-Conscious Packaging: They employ a remarkably strict environmental distribution technique, carefully preparing their finished handcrafted lifestyle accessories for retail using exclusively unlaminated paper and eco-friendly materials, successfully guaranteeing that every single piece of packaging can be safely repurposed or biodegraded.
