It is believed that the Chirakkal Raja of Kannur brought the Saliya’s the traditional weaving communities from
other regions and settled them in colonies in Kannur. It is also said that the weaving activities were attached to
the Basel Mission during 1852-1859 with a good establishment and having a huge complex of workers. Initially it
was largely the Saliya’s who used to particularly do this craft, nowadays it is also done by the Nair, Nambiar, War-

necessary yarns, dyes and the other required accessories.
