Khadi Silk Fabric 112cm wide - 80gsm Natural White
Khadi Silk Fabric 112cm wide - 80gsm Natural White
This Khadi Silk variant keeps the same artisanal handspun character as the wider cloth but in a 112 cm width that is practical for smaller projects and efficient pattern layouts. At roughly 80 gsm, the cloth sits in the lightweight category while retaining a refined hand and subtle luster from silk fibres. The surface texture shows the telltale, small irregularities of charkha-spun yarns that produce beautiful tonal effects when the fabric is dyed or printed.
The narrower width makes it easier to manage in studio cutting and sample making while still delivering an authentic handwoven look to finished garments. Designers use this width for blouses, scarves and layered garments where the Khadi irregularity complements handwork and traditional surface techniques. The natural white tone makes it a reliable canvas across dye systems.
This format is ideal for makers wanting the Khadi story without committing to the broad-width paneling required by wider bolts. It balances practicality with artisanal aesthetics.
