This intricate weave is crafted using a single or double warp and multiple weft colours, creating patterns that resemble embroidery. Unlike other handloom sarees, Tanchoi weaves are dense and lack an extra weft thread on the reverse, giving them a smooth, refined finish. The saree's beauty lies in its subtle patterns—typically floral motifs or paisleys—that appear almost embossed.
