Hand weaving unit
Weaving is a textile craft in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads, called the warp and the filling or weft (older woof), are interlaced to form a fabric or cloth. The warp threads run lengthways on the piece of cloth, and the weft runs across from side to side, across the bolt of cloth. Cloth is woven on a loom, a device that holds the warp threads in place while filling threads are woven through them.  The way the warp and filling threads interlace with each other is called the weave. The ancient craft of hand weaving, along with hand spinning, remains a popular craft. The process of weaving dyeing and tying offer you some enchanting experience.
Farm visit-
Welcome to the farm of Paulson – a local farmer and an entrepreneur who flourished his land with good efforts. Large area but his house compound encompassed with fish, cattle, poultry, nutmegs, grass, various pet animals etc. Obviously this will be nostalgic experience to every visitor.
