Nirmal Rang Pure Cotton Handloom Saree Moss Green

What shade is the moss green?

It is a deep, dark moss green with a matte cotton surface, a solid, muted shade with no pattern on the body. That plainness makes it easy to wear to work or every day, and it takes contrast blouses and simple jewellery well.

How is the pallu finished?

With a row of green tassels along the edge that match the moss-green body. Apart from the tassels, the saree is a solid, plain weave, so they are the main finishing detail and add a little movement when you walk. Squeeze them gently when washing rather than wringing.

Why does the weave look slightly uneven?

Because it is woven by hand. A handloom weaver interlaces every thread manually, so the tension and yarn thickness vary a little. These minor irregularities are what make each piece unique.

What blouse would suit it?

The running blouse is the same deep green. For contrast, mustard, rust, maroon or a soft gold blouse brings out the depth of the green, while a white blouse keeps it simple for the office.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry it in shade. Washing it alone protects other clothes from the deep dye, and shade drying keeps the dark green from fading in patches. Squeeze the tassels gently rather than wringing them.
