This Khadi cloth is made from organic cotton (fibre used is certified by India Organic NPOP), and is processed by hand. Unlike other industrially manufactured woven and knitted materials which can use a lot of electricity in the production process, these handcrafted fabrics are hand-spun on a Ambar Charkha (Ambar Charkha =spinning wheel) and handwoven on a paddle loom. These are all powered by the local community reducing the electricity used, and therefore CO2 emissions, compared to conventional fabrics produced by machinery, by 9%. This has far-reaching economic and social benefits to the artisans living in remote villages in India. Lead-time subject to seasonal availability.

Moralfibre is a Limited Liability partnership based in India.  It was founded by Shailini Sheth Amin in 2012 to revive and re-invent the handcrafted Khadi cloth and other materials such as peace silk. Moralfibre is making design and technology inputs to artisans and their co-operatives to make this fabric suitable for today’s textile marketplace and supply cycle. Today, they export into eighteen different countries. Moralfibre has helped support over 100 small artisan businesses and their skills; including spinners, weavers, dyers, block makers, printers, and more. With the automation of textile production, many of these artisan co-operatives would otherwise run out of business, and their specialised skill set and communities would be diminished.
