Kala cotton is an organic cotton indigenous to Kutch, where the cotton crop is only fed with rainwater. Here the yarn is handspun and handwoven on a handloom using a Jamdhani technique which is a discontinuous weft technique of weaving, and can be dedined as the art of fine ‘Parsi Gara’ done on the loom. In Jamdhani, motifs are inlaid into the fabric by adding a denser thread to warp threads by hand. This technique is extremely difficult and time consuming involving extremely skilled textile artisans.
