User here is the femalecluster group who arededicated tyeing theknots of the fabric for theparticular colour anddesign to be applicableon the threads.
80% weavers including the men face eye strain as they have to concentrate on thedetailings on the yarn whichis becoming very difficult while marking the design.
Words by cluster head :when you don’t have proper vision to see or do anything, other body parts doesn’t matter when it comes to pain.”
