India Guinness book of records

Mr. K Narsimulu of Hyderabad who works at the Weaver Service Centre has a reputation for being innovative both with design and equipment. He has woven the worlds largest bed cover measuring 250 inches x 250 inches. This was done by putting 4 large looms together and making one long beater for the warp to come through. The design was created by ikat, tie dyeing the yarn before weaving, using vegetable dyes including exotic herbs and flowers. It required 15 Kg of yarn. |

However this project was done completely on his own time with the help
of his wife, brother and several other well wishers. Unfortunately
the Guinness Book of Records has informed Narsimulu that they do not have
a category for his record breaking cloth. Never the less it was an achievement
worth commending.
