Extra weft is where additional weft yarns in contrasting colours, are woven through to create a motif. This yarn is woven in selvedge to selvedge and is interlaced with the structural yarns.

This cloth would make beautiful skirts, dresses, tops and shirts. It would also be suitable for lightweight curtains.

More about this cloth

This cloth is made with Kala cotton. Kala cotton is indigenous to Kutch in India and by default organic, as the farmers do not use any pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. It is a purely rain-fed crop that has a high tolerance for both disease and pests and requires minimal investment. The cotton has a beautiful rustic quality and we love it for it’s eco credentials and raw beauty.
