The Silk dhotis of salem are famous for their luster, whiteness, technical excellence and novelty of border designs viz., Nagachattai, Kammal, Diamond with roja, muthu with gold pettu etc.
It is woven on pit loom / raised pit loom. Border in extra Warp is controlled by dobby. Of late jacquard is used in case of bigger designs or korvai designs. For Kambi in corss border rib weave is woven with the help of healds itself. Thus the cross border looks same in face and back of the dhoti.
