Kotpad weaving uses hand spun cotton yarn from the Handloom Society which is then treated with a back-breaking month-long dyeing process even before being made a fabric. The dyes are extracts of the Aaljhaad tree barks. Only two primary shades are used - textured red and coffee brown. The process involves soaking the yarn in oil, mixing with cow dung for disinfecting, washing in a running stream, boiling it 40 times for seasoning and roughening for a coarse feel.
