Valkalam

Valkalam sarees are just like the Jamdani. They come with interwoven pallu and borders with exquisite thread work. They are created both in cotton and silk weaves, especially Benares sarees. Mine is a valkalam on Coimbatore cotton in a lovely grey with black thread work. I will let the pictures do all the talking ....

Negamam Cotton

A nice and simple cotton to wear - from Negamam, near Coimbatore. It gets softer with every wash and is a pleasure to wear. Generally comes with simple thread work patterns in the body, border and pallu.
