Indian handspun and hand-woven cloth. The raw materials may be cotton, silk, or wool, which are spun into threads on a spinning wheel called a charkha. Khadi is a versatile fabric, cool in summers and warm in winters. Being a natural form of material, it crumples much faster than other preparations of cotton. In order to improve the look, khadi is often starched to have a stiffer shape. It is widely accepted in fashion circles these days. Mahatma Gandhi began promoting the spinning of khadi for rural self-employment in 1920s India.
Khadi at Asal is available as natural dyed and non dyed yardage.
