CRAFT HERITAGE

This 100-count khadi fabric has been woven using yarn-dyed natural indigo in the Purba Bardhaman weaving cluster of West Bengal, India. The cotton is grown locally and the yarn is dyed with natural indigo that is extracted from the Indigofera tinctoria plant [from the bean family].  Extracting natural indigo is a long and lengthy process and the dye is used for various dyeing and printing techniques. 

Supporting and preserving this process of extracting natural dye, sourcing locally grown cotton, yarn dyeing and handloom weaving are important in preserving cultural heritage, providing income opportunities and developing eco-friendly, low carbon footprint options for clothing.
