Ilkal Saree is a traditional form of saree which is common feminine wear in India. The Craft started in the 8th century AD., made in the Ilkal region of the Bagalkot district of Karnataka, known for its durability and comfortableness as compared to other types of sarees because of the fine quality yarns used, with the best tensile strength to withstand the traditional pit loom weaving technique.
Ilkal Sarees are produced primarily on pit looms with a combination of three types of different yarns – Cotton x Art Silk, Cotton x Silk, Silk x Silk.
