The yarn used to make the fabric is a derivative of "Lashing" (Cotton ball) and "Kabrang" (Mulberry cocoon). These are also extracted from the bark of the tree species locally known as "Santhak" (Urtica sp.). The local fibre is then made into threads by spinning and then dyed using plants and bark. The dyed yarn is subject to sizing by applying starch made of rice, and then stretched across using a bamboo rod which is followed by winding into bobbin.
