Patolu has been unparalleled and original handy craft in the world. Before invention of machines, with the help of wisdom and strength this craft was developed, which has special heritage of human culture. Patan's Patolu is a precious heritage worth preserving.

While in Preparing Patola colouring and design pattern are evolved on each thread. Different colour and pattern are matched exactly on horizontal and vertical threads in weaving. This is the secret of Patola. A set design evolved through colouring cross threads is known as "Double Ikat". In the system of "Double Ikat", Patola's place is at the top in whole of world because Patolu sari measures 5.5 metres long and 4.0 feet wide. Colouring and design pattern developed on both sides of the hand loom cloth is unique and not known to have made anywhere in the world except Patan. In Bali islands and Japan work on "Double Ikat" is done but not made on huge size of patolu sari cloth. That is why, people from all over world visit patan and appreciate this unique craft. In to-days' computer age, this kind of workmanship can not be developed on computer.

It has to be made manually. Textile industry can not take up this work. Students from textile industry of Japan and U.S.A. visit Patan in December to find out whether this craft can be taken up on machines. They have not been successful so far. A research trial was also taken by "ATIRA" through Calico Mill but in vain.

Another unique feature of the Patola is in its non-use of footrule. The measurement is made through a tape smallest measurement of 1/100th of an inch.

For preparing Patola, design is made on graph paper, then on certain threads (Tana and Vana), which are kept open, the rest are tied by cotton thread. The Tana and Vana thus tied are dipped in colour so that only open threads take up the colour. Now the coloured threads are tied and another colour is to be applied to open threads after immersing in another colour. Thus depending upon the number of colours, tieing and colouring are made. Cotton threads are loosended after all required colours appear on both sides of Tana and Vana. The process of colouring the threads takes nearly 75 days.

After colouring work is completed, weaving begins. In general only one man works on the handloom, but for Patola two men are required. Two men can weave hardly 10 inch of cloth in one day. After weaving adjustment and finishing work is required to be done. For weaving one sari, 25 days' time is consumed. Total time required for making one sari is about 3-4 months with help of 3 craftmen.
