Khadi: the handloom of independence

“Khadi” ~ it’s a handloomed cloth made with hand-twisted yarns.  Ghandi turned khadi into a national symbol of independence, calling for civil disobedience through a boycott of cloth made in England in favor of local, handloomed fabrics, including khadi.

Besides its place in history, khadi is amazingly soft and versatile, and is one of the handloom fabrics used by Indigo Handloom.  Pictured is one of our Indigo Handloom scarves, blending khadi cotton with silk.  

It’s fabric.  It’s fashion.  It’s philosophy.
