Khadi is a versatile hand-spun & hand-woven natural fiber cloth from India, typically made from cotton but sometimes incorporating silk or wool. The yarn is spun by hand on a traditional spinning wheel known as a Charkha. It is highly breathable, keeping the wearer cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Championed by Mahatma Gandhi in the early 20th century, Khadi became a powerful symbol of Indian self-reliance, independence, and resistance against British manufactured goods. Gandhi promoted Khadi as a way to generate self-employment and support self-sufficiency for marginalized rural communities in India. This still is important for rural communities in India today.
