Crochet/Crosia Clothing

Crochet fabric is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook. The name is derived from the French term crochet, meaning 'small hook'. The art of creating a fabric with the hook is called crocheting and the fabric is called crochet. This skill of making crochet started in the 17th century. It was considered as a home art and a hobby.

Crochet today is no longer just a hobby. It’s so much more stylish and wearable and, with so many new designers banking on crochet to incorporate this to everyday looks. They’re light, airy and they are in trend.

We all know that cotton has been used from times immemorial and despite the arrival of more complex artificial clothing fabrics, it continues to be used today as well. The crochet thread is made of thick cotton threads. They are weaved with bigger spaces between the threads to give an authentic look.

The rural women SHGs (Self Help Groups) supported by SERP-AP (Society For Elimination Of Rural Poverty) are into making crochet garments. Their products have many variants ranging from clothing to home furnishings. In clothing, they cater to all age groups (Skirts, Frocks, Long skirts, Jackets ) and many more.
