SN Charkha kala cotton long sleeve pullover (red iron oxide dye)
Kala cotton is produced by KHAMIR, an NGO in Kutch, India. For details, please see here . The raw cotton of kala cotton is the original Helbacheum species that has not been bred, and it is characterized by its very low environmental impact because it does not require pesticides and only requires a small amount of water. SN stands for single needle, and is the name of a portable spinning machine for home use invented by Gandhi. Click here to see how the yarn is spun. Currently, while amvirka , which is more productive than single needle, is mainstream, the yarn is spun little by little by the women of the local village and woven by hand. The random borders that sometimes appear are created by changes in the fine yarn lots used in handmade work, and are also one of the characteristics. The design uses fabric that is comfortable against the skin as it is, and can be worn casually as a pullover like a T-shirt. The wide silhouette leaves space between the body and the fabric, which combines with the texture of the fabric to make it comfortable for many people. The cuffs are cuffed, so you can fold them back and wear them as they are. In addition, the slits on the cuffs have radial reinforcement ST, which ensures durability.
*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.
*Natural pigments are fixed with natural rubber, so there is a natural unevenness. To avoid color transfer, avoid combining with light colors and be sure to wash it separately from other items the first 1-2 times. Since it is product dyed, the color and size of each item may vary slightly.
