Product description 

This high-density cotton khadi is woven from amber charkha khadi yarn, featuring occasional neps (lumps) within the stripes, hence the name “nepped khadi” Compared to sheer khadi or soft khadi, it has greater density and a substantial thickness.

While many Indian domestic markets may classify fabrics woven with only hand-spun weft threads, or those woven on power looms called village mills, as khadi, CALICO's khadi is fundamentally “hand-spun warp and weft” (both warp and weft threads are hand-spun).

Before you purchase

* This product is also carried in the stores, so it may occasionally be sold out at the time of your order through the website. Unfortunately if  that the product is out of stock after you placing the order, we will contact you. We appreciate your understanding.

* 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.

* Please note that dark-colored fabrics and clothing may fade or transfer color due to friction, rain, sweat, etc. Please be careful when wearing light-colored clothing or carrying light-colored bags, or when using them with furniture.
