In Kangeyam there are around 3,000 silk handlooms operated by the weavers, producing soft silk saris and other dresses of which 90 percent of the weavers here utilise Indian-made silk yarns for weft and China-made silk yarns for warp. Rest of them utilise Indian-made silk yarns for both the weft and warp, said R Balasubramanian, advisor of Kangeyam Silk Manufacturers Association.
