Tangaliya Handwoven Cotton

A unique handcrafted cloth woven in a bright navy Kala cotton with a Tangaliya dot in white. Tangaliya is a weaving technique that gives the effect of beadlike embroidery. It is created using threads twisted round the weft of the yarn.

Kala cotton is a purely rain fed cotton indigenous to the kachchh region of India. It is grown in a sustainable way due to the resilient nature of the plant, the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers are not needed. It forms a strong and coarse fibre that produces a uniquely textured cloth. 

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