The count used in weaving gives the softness and hardness of the fabric. Count means the number of threads used in the length and breadth for weaving known as warp and weft respectively. Each and every thread of the Bannerugatta handloom saree is hand woven. Each weaver works from home with all his / her family helping in different steps of the process. It requires approximately 4-8 days (depending on the variety of saree) of continuous efforts of two persons for weaving a saree. It is also rolled over small sticks to use for weft. After dyeing and drying the yarn it is converted to thread and is loaded as warp which is called pavvu and then it is loaded into the loom for actual weaving. One pavvu will make 12 sarees. It will take 2 months to complete weaving of one pavvu. The weaver will get a remuneration of around `250 per saree.
