Product Description

 Kala Cotton is a native cotton variety that is said to have been cultivated in the eastern region of Kutch, Gujarat, since ancient times.
We wove the hand-spun kala cotton into a diamond pattern.

As the name "Kala" suggests, meaning "black" in local languages and Hindi, this is a variety of cotton that has not been genetically modified or bleached, and has a strong, natural color compared to modified varieties.
(It is also said to refer to a state where black particles of cotton seeds or dregs are mixed in.)
Kala cotton can be grown with rainwater alone, is highly resistant to disease and pests, and can be cultivated by farmers with minimal investment.
It also has the effect of giving elasticity to and revitalizing land that has become barren.

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly made by women in the village using an efficient modern spinning wheel called an “Amber Charka.” When the yarn breaks, it is spun by hand, resulting in neps, which is a characteristic feature.

* Most of hand-spun and handwoven fabrics are produced in village huts, and as a result, threads or grass may occasionally be mixed in. Additionally, there may be uneven areas, wrinkles, or slight discoloration caused by thread breaks, as well as unavoidable minor stains. Please understand that these are characteristic features of those fabrics.

* Depending on the material, friction during use may cause pilling or fuzziness. Excessive friction or pressure can cause a fabric damage, so please avoid such a situation.
