Wool Khadi Pin Twill Hickory

This is a hand woven wool, woven with a twill weave and a fibrous, crumpled texture. These fabrics are made as part of a sustainable and socio-responsible initiative, one that supports and promotes artisanal crafts, in which the process is entirely run & operated by the local women. Indian Wool Tweed is a unique, traditionally woven fabric in which ever stage is done by hand using local resources. The process generates zero waste, uses zero chemicals, and zero electricity. These wools are made from the hair Gaddi sheep. The sheep are sheered, and the hair is sorted into colours before being spun on a wheel called a Charkha. These yarns are then woven into fabric lengths on a hand operated loom, are softened through the process of washing with soapnut, and then felted by hand to achieve these dense and crinkled twill wool fabrics. 100% wool, 101cm wide. Approx. 325gsm. Thread match suggestion: 4829
