Khadi is a handspun and handwoven fabric made from natural fibers, primarily cotton, silk, or wool. It originated in India and became a symbol of the country's independence movement, promoted by Mahatma Gandhi as a way to encourage self-reliance and support local artisans. The fabric is known for its durability, breathability, and eco-friendliness. Khadi is often associated with traditional Indian clothing, such as kurta and saree, and is celebrated for its unique texture and comfort. The production process involves spinning yarn on a charkha, a traditional spinning wheel, and weaving it on handlooms, which helps sustain rural livelihoods and preserve cultural heritage.
