Khadi is a hand-spun and hand-woven cloth, predominantly originating from India. Made from cotton, it sometimes also contains silk or wool. Khadi played a pivotal role in India's independence movement as a symbol of resistance against British colonial rule. Today, it is regarded as a versatile, breathable fabric with a distinct texture and richness. Its production generates rural employment in parts of India.

Khādī
Khādī or Khaddar is a term for handspun and hand-woven cloth in India and Pakistan. The raw materials may be cotton, silk, or wool, which are spun into threads on a spinning wheel called a charkha. It is a versatile fabric, cool in summer and warm in winter. However, being a cruder form of material, it wrinkles much faster than other preparations of cotton. In order to improve the look, khādī/khaddar is often starched to give it a stiffer shape. It is widely accepted in fashion circles.
