Khadi Silk is a handspun, handwoven textile rooted in traditional charkha craft; it is made to a light weight of roughly 80 gsm and supplied in a wide 135 cm width to maximise cutting efficiency. The cloth carries a soft sheen tempered by the irregularities of handspun yarns, producing a quietly tactile surface that captures dye depth with subtle variation. In natural white, it presents a balanced canvas for both synthetic and botanical dye processes and is especially appealing in collections that foreground craft provenance.

Each bolt reflects small variations in yarn thickness and weave tension that tell a story of hand production and bring visual interest to finished garments. The fabric moves gently, offering a lightweight drape that flatters layered silhouettes while still providing enough body for simple tailoring. Its broad width is practical for makers who prefer fewer seams for skirts, dresses or decorative panels.

Khadi Silk works well in both small-batch production and studio practice, where the handspun origin becomes part of the product narrative and enhances perceived authenticity. Use it when craft story and textural nuance are priorities.
