Q: What is Khadi? A: Khadi is hand-spun, handwoven cloth, spun thread by thread on a charkha and woven on a handloom. Nothing about it is machine-made, which is why no two lengths are ever quite identical. Q: Why does the fabric feel slightly uneven or textured? A: That irregularity is the signature of hand-spun yarn, not a flaw. The subtle slub in the weave is how you can tell genuine Khadi from a mill-made imitation. Q: Is Khadi comfortable in hot weather? A: Very. The loose hand-woven structure lets air move through the fabric and absorbs moisture well, which makes Khadi one of the most breathable cottons for Indian summers. Q: How should I care for a Khadi saree? A: Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent and dry in shade. Khadi grows softer with every wash, so it improves with wear. Q: Will it shrink or fade? A: Slight shrinkage in the first wash is normal for hand-woven cotton, and naturally dyed pieces may release a little colour initially. Washing separately the first time takes care of both. Q: Will the print or colour vary slightly? A: Yes. Block-printed and hand-painted motifs are placed by hand, so placement and shade vary a little from piece to piece. Q: Is a blouse piece included? A: Each saree's product details confirm whether a blouse piece is included.
