SaveTheWeave

Save the Weave is a movement initiated by Sadhguru to bring awareness globally and in India about the need to shift to natural fibres. India is home to more than 136 unique weaves, mostly in the form of sarees. Traditionally woven in cotton and silk, sarees are the backbone of Indian Handloom sector that is rapidly being replaced by machines and synthetic fibres.

The current generation of skilled weavers could be the last ones engaged in the handloom sector with the younger generation having moved on to newer industries. The techniques of cultivating organic cotton, preparatory processes for weaving, the intricacy of weaving styles, use of natural dyes in dyeing fabric and printing techniques are all inspired by culture and region. This art form needs to be preserved so that the traditional knowledge is not lost. Synerg - a clothing manufacturer based in tirupur in India endorses this movement and supports in every possible way by manufacturing certified organic clothing.
