The colored silk is brought for spinning process. The yarn bundle is first spun onto a traditional bamboo spool locally called as Parivattam. Then, the yarn from these spools is again spun onto spindles with the help of spinning wheel. Silk strand is reeled to spindle and the spinning wheel is operated. The yarn from bamboo spool is transferred into spindles. These spindles are used to insert into fly-shuttle which is used while weaving to weave the weft. The spinning process is done to avoid entangles in the yarn and to ensure the easy weaving.
