No guessing. It is all on the tag.
How we label cloth
No. 014Fibre
100% cotton. No polyester blend unless the tag says so.
Yarn
Hand-spun or mill-spun, always named. Khadi means hand-spun; mill yarn is labelled mill yarn.
Count
Higher count is finer and lighter. 20s is coarse and airy, 40s everyday, 60s fine.
Weave
Plain, twill or dobby, written on the tag.
By hand
Small slubs and a 1 to 2 cm size difference are part of handmade cloth, not a fault.

from yarn to your shoulder
Four steps, all by hand.
1
Yarn is chosen
Hand-spun for khadi, mill yarn for finer counts. We say which on the tag.
2
Warp is set on the loom
Hundreds of threads are lined up by hand before a single pass of the shuttle.
3
Woven, not printed
Checks and stripes are woven into the cloth, so both sides carry the pattern.
4
Washed, folded, tagged
Each piece is checked for slubs, folded and tagged with its count and weave.
first wash, plainly
Natural cloth, honest care.
Wash alone first
Deep reds, indigos and greens can bleed in the first wash. Use cold water and keep them away from whites.
Dry in the shade
Strong sun fades natural colour. Dry flat or on a line in the shade.
Expect a little shrink
Cotton can shrink up to about 3 to 5%. Measure after the first wash.
Iron while damp
Khadi softens with every wash. Iron on a medium heat while a little damp.
kind words
What people write after the first wash.
★★★★★
The gamcha is thick and dries fast. A little red came out in the first wash, exactly as the tag said, and it stayed put afterwards.

I bought four metres of plain khadi for my own panjabi. It was cut in one piece and a little long, which saved me when it shrank.

★★★★★
The saree is light and the tag said 60-count mill yarn, so I knew what to expect. Delivered in Chattogram in three days, paid the rider.

before you order
Questions, answered plainly.
Is it really handloom?
The tag says how each piece is made: hand-woven on a loom, or power-loom. We label it honestly and never use certification marks we do not hold.
Will the colour bleed?
Deep colours may bleed a little in the first wash. Wash alone in cold water until the water runs clear.
What does delivery cost?
৳70 inside Dhaka (1 to 2 days) and ৳120 outside Dhaka (3 to 4 days). Pay in cash when the parcel arrives.
Can I exchange?
Within 7 days if it is the wrong size or has a loom fault. Cloth cut to your length by the metre can only be exchanged for a fault.
Do sizes vary?
Handmade pieces can differ by 1 to 2 cm. The size chart is on every product page.
Soft cotton, cut and on its way.
