Green and black tassels at the fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the weave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe butis are what the weavers call a \u003cstrong\u003ecapsule design\u003c\/strong\u003e: small elongated motifs, each thrown in as a few strokes of contrast yarn while the cloth is on the loom. In black against teal-grey they read as punctuation rather than pattern — you notice them one at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe colour is what makes this piece. Ghicha yarn carries pale and dark striations along its length, and dyed teal over a naturally golden yarn they come through as gold and olive lines running the length of the cloth. The result is a colour that will not sit still: teal in one light, sage-grey in another, with warmth coming up through it wherever the light is direct. No photograph catches it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it's for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMuted enough for a working day, unusual enough that people will ask what colour it is. There is no zari, no print and nothing ceremonial about it — this is a saree for ordinary occasions, which is the hardest kind to get right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: Pure handloom Ghicha Tussar silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Teal grey with black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Scattered capsule butis in black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorder: Solid charcoal black, both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePallu: Solid charcoal with a sage stripe band and green tassel fringe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaree length: 5.5 m · Width: 1.10 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlouse piece: 0.80 m, unstitched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage contains: 1 saree with blouse piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash care: Dry clean only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn handloom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery metre of this saree passed through a pit loom worked by hand and foot. No motor is involved anywhere in the process — the weaver sets the pace, and the cloth carries that pace in it. Bhagalpur has been weaving silk this way for generations, and what comes off its looms does not resemble what comes off the looms at Varanasi or Chanderi. The yarn is different, the water is different, and so are the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn tussar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTussar comes from silkworms that feed in open forest rather than on cultivated mulberry. That wilder life shows in the yarn — thicker, less even, and carrying a warm honey colour of its own before any dye touches it. Weavers across eastern India have worked with it for centuries. The hand is drier and more open than mulberry silk, which is the point of tussar rather than a shortcoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn colour and variation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThese sarees are dyed in small lots and woven one at a time, so no two are alike — and no single piece is quite uniform from end to end. You may find the shade deepening a little along the length, a heavier slub where the yarn ran thick, or an edge that wanders by a thread. None of that is damage. Screens also render colour differently, so expect some drift from what you see here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54080178225336,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/1701\/8040\/files\/13-5.jpg?v=1789131711","url":"https:\/\/soumyata.com\/products\/teal-grey-tussar-ghicha-silk-saree-black-pallu","provider":"Soumyata.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
