Khadi : Handspun and handwoven, natural fiber cloth.
Handspun : Natural fibers, drawn out and twisted together by hand to form a yarn.
Handwoven : Handspun yarns woven together using a handloom.
Khadi is made from handspun and handwoven natural fibers. From the harvest to the yarn to the weave, the material is made by hand without the use of machines, and without electricity. It is a textile that holds the story of nature and sustainable economies, community and ancient craft.
Wearing handloom fabrics have a different feeling than wearing industrially produced fabrics – khadi drapes and breathes with a supple softness in a rhythm that can only be created by skilled human hands. The feeling is truly luxurious.
Handwork naturally results in variations. We cherish these imperfections for their human touch.
