Product Description

This supple Khadi cotton is woven using Unvirka yarn with a thickness of approximately 30 count for the warp and approximately 33 count for the weft.
It is about 50% heavier than Ussuri Khadi.
It is cool enough to wear even in the summer, has the feel of hand-spun and hand-woven fabric, and is just the right thickness.
In much of the Indian domestic market, Khadi may refer to fabric with only the weft thread hand-spun, or fabric woven on a power loom known as a village mill, but CALICO's Khadi is in principle "hand-spun warp and weft threads (both warp and weft threads are hand-spun)".

Before you purchase

*This product is also sold in stores, so it may be sold out at the time of your order. If the product is out of stock after you place your order, we will contact you.

*If you purchase multiple pieces, we will try to send you rolls of the same color, but if they do not meet your request, we will accept returns at your expense. Please contact us. (Please note that we do not accept returns after cutting or processing.)

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly produced by village women using a modern and highly efficient spinning wheel called an amvirtualka. If the yarn breaks, it will have knots as it has to be spun by hand.

* Most hand-woven and hand-spun fabrics are made in village huts, and depending on the environment, threads and grass may be mixed in. There may also be uneven areas, twists, smudges caused by skipped threads, and unavoidable stains. Please understand that these are characteristics of Indian fabrics before purchasing.

* Depending on the material, friction during use may cause shrinkage or pilling. Please avoid excessive friction or pressure as it may cause damage to the fabric.
