Years of weaving heritage in Kuthampully
Our Heritage
Our Story
The Anamala Story
Anamala Handlooms was born within the embrace of Anamala Homestays — a working homestead nestled in the handloom heartland of Kuthampully, Thrissur district.
Here, weaving is not a workshop activity — it is a way of living. Our artisan families have inherited the craft through generations, practicing the Devanga weaver tradition that gave Kuthampully its authentic handloom identity.
Every saree that leaves our looms carries a thread of this story — the sounds of the pit loom, the scent of sizing thread, and the pride of a craft kept alive.

Handloom Way
In an age of machines and mass production, we remain committed to the pit loom. Every saree is born through the rhythm of a weaver's hands — each pass of the shuttle a deliberate act of creation. This is not slow manufacturing; it is a living craft.
01
Yarn Preparation
Raw cotton and silk threads are carefully sourced and wound on bobbins by hand, tested for evenness before the loom ever touches them.
02
Warping the Loom
Warp threads are strung lengthwise across the traditional pit loom — a meticulous process that can take an entire day for a single saree.
03
Weaving by Hand
The weaver sits within the pit, working the shuttle back and forth, interlacing weft threads one pass at a time. A fine silk saree takes 3-5 days to complete.
04
Zari & Motifs
Gold and silver zari threads are woven into borders and pallu using supplementary weft technique — no embroidery, no printing, only true interlacing.
Origin
From Kuthampully
Kuthampully is a small village on the banks of the Bharathapuzha river in Thrissur, Kerala — a place where the sound of the handloom never sleeps. Home to the Devanga weaving community, it has been designated a Handloom Cluster of National Importance.
Our traditional dhoti and saree represent the irreplaceable artistry of this land, this river, and these hands. When you wear an authentic piece, you wear a timeless heritage.
