WINDOW PANE "Khadi" Homespun Cotton from India

Window Pand Khadi Cotton

Light weight, almost sheer cotton that just seems to float. The "Window Pane" weave allows a semi-sheer to be very sturdy: groups of threads are beaten tightly while spaces between are beaten lightly, creating semi-sheer "panes".

"Khadi" cotton is homespun and woven in small villages in India.

Available in natural egg-shell off white, 36" wide.

Also available Naturally Hand dyed in "Super Eco Friendly Colours". These are unique dye-lots that are done as exhausts from other dye-work, making them "super-eco", and the Aurora Silk dyeworks "Super eco-friendly".
