Mangalgiri is well known for its traditional Mangalgiri Handlooms.These handlooms are well known for their durability of the colours used in the yarn. The mixture of colours gives the durability. Usually Mangalgiri handlooms are made in cotton or cotton and silk mix or mercerized cotton. The count used in weaving gives the softness and hardness of the fabric. In Mangalgiri the count 80 to 80 is used for soft woven fabric and 40 to 60 for hard varieties. The count gives the quality of the fabric. There are some designs which are exclusively used in Mangalgiri fabrics known as Nizam designs.The looms used in Mangalgiri are mostly pit looms. The weavers into this profession have acquired these unique skills from their ancestors. The art of weaving is passed on by way of practice and tradition.

The handloom fabrics are soft and comfortable to wear and are suited for all climates. Mainly Mangalgiri looms manufacture sarees, but now as per demand dress materials are also weaved.
