Kala cotton is produced by KHAMIR, an NGO in Kutch, India. For details, please click here . The raw cotton of kala cotton is the original Helbaceum species that has not been bred, and it is characterized by its very low environmental impact as it does not require pesticides and requires a small amount of water. SN stands for single needle, which is the name of a portable spinning machine for home use invented by Gandhi. Click here to see how the yarn is spun. While the amvirka , which is more productive than the single needle, is currently mainstream, the yarn is spun little by little by the women of the local villages and woven by hand. The random borders that appear from time to time are created by the fine changes in the yarn lots of the handwork, and are also one of the characteristics of the fabric.
*Because we use hand-woven fabric, there are individual differences in size and texture. Please consider the weaving habits, knots in the thread, and pilling as part of the expression. As it is weaker than machine-woven fabric, please avoid excessive strain. We are also available to answer any questions you may have about care.
*Dyed with dyes extracted from plants and insects, there is a natural unevenness. As there is a possibility of color transfer, please refrain from using it with light-colored items at first, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. Since it is product dyed, the color and size of each item may vary slightly.
