Hand-woven Selvedge Denim
Denim with a neat and clean Selvedge, and that too woven on handlooms, is a very unique proposition in today’s world.
The entire process of making fabric from yarn is carried out without deploying any electrically operated machinery, and without burning any fuels. The fabric has a very soft hand-feel, and very high breathability, making it very comfortable for the wearer.
All our handloom denim fabric is woven on handlooms which use a “shuttle” to insert the weft yarns, carrying the weft yarn from one end to the other, and back, thus resulting in the formation of a neat edge along both the borders of the fabric.
Depending upon the yarn used for weaving, the hand-woven selvedge denim fabric can be broadly classified into two categories – handloom denim, and, khadi denim.
Handloom Denim
Handloom Denim is woven out of mill-spun yarn, on manually operated wooden frame, floor mounted, foot-pedal handlooms, in weights ranging from 5 oz to 13 oz, produced without using electrical machinery, and without burning any fuels.
Khadi Denim
Khadi Denim is woven using 100% cotton hand-spun single ply yarn in warp, or in both warp and weft, in the 3×1 twill weave. The fabric has a unique and unmatched richness in surface texture, owing to the uneven-ness of the hand-spun yarn.
Varieties & Options
Within the two broad actegories of the hand-woven selvedge denim fabric, theer are several variants, characterised by the GSM (or, Oz per square yard), dyes used for colorig the yarn, type of yarns used, and the direction of twill weave.
Weights
We offer handloom selvedge denim fabric in weights ranging from 4.5 /5 oz to 13 oz per square yard, or 150 to 400 gsm, approximately. The different weights are obtained by using yarns of different counts, in different weaving constructions.
Dyes
We use a different types of dyes to color the yarn, like vegetable dyes, which include dye-stuff extracted from the indigo plants, pomegranate rind, eucalyptus tree leaves, onion skins, and also the industrially produced azo-free reactive dyes. We also offer fabric in the natural color of cotton.
Slub Yarn
Khadi denim has the richness and depth in surface texture because of the natural uneven-ness in hand-spun yarn. The same effect is achievable – to a great extent – in handloom denim fabric also, by using mill-spun slub yarn, in warp and weft.
