Product description
The Vankar weavers' community spins and weaves wool from sheep raised by the Barley people.
In addition to traditional weaving, Vankar Shamji Vishram develops new materials and dyed fabrics. In 2017, we first requested wool fabric suitable for coats.
Since then, we have repeatedly improved the fabric by adding more twists to the yarn we traditionally use and increasing the density of the weave to make it suitable for sewing.
We mix a small amount of soft cotton into the wool fabric, which has a charming rough texture.
Please enjoy this old yet new continental fabric, created in collaboration with the Vankar weavers of Kutch.

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.
