Khadi

Khadi or Khaddar is a term for hand-woven cloth using handspun yarn threads from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, mainly made from cotton. The cloth is usually woven from cotton and may also include silk, or wool, which are all spun into yarn on a spinning wheel called a charkha. It is a versatile fabric that has good thermal absorbent property where it remains cool in summer and warm in winter. To improve the look, khadi is sometimes starched to give it a stiffer feel. It is very widely accepted in fashion circles and international markets.
