India.
Dupion, a wild,
natural and purest silk of neat look and sheen, is a plain weave crisp type of
silk fabric of iridescent effect, which is basically woven from two different
fabrics in order to result shimmering effect. Dupion fabric is highly-wrinkle
resistant fabric of exclusive irregular pattern with nubs (lumps of yarn)
showing, that lends its uniqueness and is much sought after for fashion, grand

is an Italian word, Duplicato, which means doubling the effect, is one of the
purest forms of silk in its natural way. Dupion is also called as Dupioni,

Dupion Silk is
one of the natural and purest silk with neat look. It is such a beautiful silk
woven from two different coloured fabrics gives shimmering effect. The weavers
made it as a highly-wrinkle resistant fabric.
The evidence
about the history and origin of Dupion is identified in India. Dupion is purely
an Indian variety, Karnataka is one of the major producers of this type of
synthetic fibre.
Dupion is
basically lighter in weight and smoother in cloth where the creases form so
well that the fabric assumes a crisp and neat look. It has an exclusive
irregular pattern with lumps of yarn which lends its uniqueness.
The major
equipment or tools required in making Dupion silk are: silk worms, sewing
machine, substantial underline, natural and metallic colours and skilled
workers.
In weaving of Dupion,
warp and weft plays a major role where they together produce such a flawless
plain weave crisp type of fabric.
In order to
make the Silk threads, two different silk worms are used by weaver, where the
two worms spin (warp) their cocoons closer to get the fibre tangled up (weft).
These tangled fibres together make the silk thread.
A sewing
machine is used by the weaver in order to furnish the resultant rough silk
threads. To protect the fabric from sunlight, here a substantial underline is
used by the weaver.
Dupion silk
often comes in different colours of threads, designs and styles. In dyeing,
weavers produce the fabric with rainbow like colours. Many natural and metallic
colours are used in order to explore an extravagance of fabric. Dupion not only
stuck to saris, salwar suits, lehengas, kurtis, but also observed in many
household things like curtains, bed sheets, pillow covers, scarves, etc.
The motifs such
as floral designs, stones, kundans, pearls, beads, animals, trees, leafs,
fruits and other geometrical structures have become the major designs on the
fabric. The best part is, as it is smoother and lighter, although it can be
embroidered in any desired manner.
