After hand weaving Banarasi silk for several years, a weaver in Varanasi has developed a handloom which can be folded, detached and is portable. It can be carried to any place in small bags.HashamTurabi  realized the difficulties faced by a weaver while working on a conventional handloom. He decided to make a handloom which was easy to handle and reduced the waste of silk and other raw material. 

The patent for the mini handloom was filed in 2007, and in 2013, the patent was granted. The conventional handloom has an aluminum structure fixed with nut and bolt on the lower side and wooden structure on the upper side. But the mini-handloom needs no fixed area and does not require any pit to be fixed in the ground. The handloom can weave silk material of any given width with locked edges and can produce material of unlimited length. The miniaturized jacquard works with precision as the cord is pulled from the operational stick instead of being pulled by foot.
