Nool by Hand

Our Logo represents 'yarn and spindle' 
and stands for that, which can only be "Handmade".

Nool is the Tamil word for "yarn" 
~ specifically the yarn that is wound inside the shuttle 
which passes from left to right through the warp  
marrying the weft 
and emerging magically as a woven fabric.



Its a fact that all over India many Handlooms are lying idle, 
some of them because they are so old, operating them has become difficult but sadly most of them have been set aside due to lack of demand for 
Handwoven fabric.
What looks like a Timber Yard, below is actually a vast storehouse of dismantled Handlooms which unfortunately get sold off as firewood. 



     Disused Spindles from the shuttles, also lay around ,sad and forgotten 



With the help of modern technologies to improve inefficiencies,
 Innovation to inspire people to wear Handloomed fabric and a lot of care and patience, Nool has its eyes on a Future where 
Handloom is 
Preserved, Protected, and Promoted for Posterity and Prosperity
