What Is Khadi

Khadi is a hand-spun and hand-woven natural fiber cloth originating from India. It holds significant cultural and historical importance, especially in the context of India's struggle for independence. Mahatma Gandhi popularized khadi as a symbol of self-reliance and economic independence, encouraging people to spin their own cloth to
boycott British textiles.

Khadi is typically made from cotton, although it can also be crafted from silk or wool. The production process involves spinning the yarn on a charkha (spinning wheel) and weaving it on a handloom. The resulting fabric is known for its durability, breathability, and distinctive texture.

Beyond its historical significance, khadi today is also valued for its eco-friendliness and sustainability. The handcrafting process consumes less energy compared to industrial manufacturing, and it supports local artisans and small-scale industries. As a result, khadi has seen a resurgence in contemporary fashion, blending traditional
craftsmanship with modern design.
