It is woven with different techniques such as continuous and discontinuous supplementary weft pattern, supplementary warp pattern, matmii (ikat), tapestry and twisted multiple yarn pattern.
There are both vertical and horizontal designs. Sinhs with vertical patterns are mainly stitched to be made into a tube skirt with one seam. Sinhs with horizontal designs have to be stitched with two seams. There are some horizontal patterns which can be made into a sinh with only one seam. This is dependent on the design chosen or weaving techniques such as supplementary warp and a warp striped pattern.”
