Rajasthan Light Handloom

Rajasthan Khadi -unbleached- medium weight

sold by the metre [ 39 in]

Width 90 cm [36 in]

This is a medium weight khadi [our fabric code is LH] subtle texture, a little rustic.

We use it for summer dresses, women’s and men’s shirts, kids clothes, summer weight pants and many things.

Cloth is unbleached, and being produced in Rajasthan they don’t always have enough water to wash- it arrives fresh from the cotton plant, sometimes a little leaf matter can be seen as dots in the fabric. We wash  when we receive it and it is ready to send to you, you won’t feel the leaf matter and it will disapppear with a few washes- it does highlight the made completely by hand quality of the fabric. 😊

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

If you are going to wash in hot water once you fabric is transformed into something– give it a hot wash before you start. We wash in cold water, heat can make it shrink more.

This cloth is produced in Rajasthan and is where our journey with khadi began.

I saw Mr Gaffer dropping khadi to a workshop and followed him to check out the cloth and our friendship started. This was around 2009, his son Matine now runs the business and it is still a pleasure to work with them.
