Description

Khadi is hand spun, hand woven cloth made in Rural India, it has a textured and unique handmade feel.
Fabric width varies between 90 cm and 110 cm [36 to 44 in]
We work with a number of weavers across India and they each have a preferred loom width, hence the variation.
Cloth comes to us unbleached, we wash when we receive it before natural colours and blockprint.

Hand made cloth is unique in small ways, little irregularities are part of its charm and not a fault.
