kala cotton pullover small
Khamir is an NGO that aims to promote traditional products and techniques from the Kutch region of India to the world while supporting local artisans. For more information on the kala cotton they produce, please click here . The raw cotton used for kala cotton is the original Helbacheum species that has not been bred, and is characterized by its very low environmental impact as it does not require pesticides and requires only a small amount of water. The short-fiber raw cotton is spun on a local machine and woven by artisans in local villages. The yarn is strongly twisted, so it has a natural texture = elasticity, and it fits naturally to the body. The occasional random borders are created by changes in the fine yarn lots used in hand-crafted work, and are also one of the characteristics. The unevenness and natural texture of the kala cotton yarn makes it comfortable against the skin, and it does not stick to your skin even when you sweat, so it can be worn comfortably even in the summer. The split raglan sleeves and short length ensure a moderate amount of movement, and the collar stands up nicely even after repeated washing, giving it a more neat impression than a T-shirt.
*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 in dark colors. Please avoid mixing with light colors to avoid color transfer. To prevent color fading, use a dry-cleaning detergent and dry in the shade. Due to post-production processing, the color and size of each item may vary slightly.
