Nakshi Handloom Pure Khadi Cotton Saree Green

What does the embroidery look like?

Small white hearts are scattered across a fresh light green body, light and evenly spaced. The fabric has a visible slub texture from the handspun yarn, so the hearts sit on a gently uneven surface, which gives the saree a relaxed, natural feel.

How does the pallu look?

The pallu continues the body pattern with the same scattered hearts, and the ends finish in white twisted tassels. With no heavy pallu, the saree is light to carry and easy to drape, whether you leave the pallu open or pleat it.

Where does it fit in my wardrobe?

Think summer and travel first: a light green khadi stays cool on hot days and suits daytime trips. It works for office wear and kitty lunches too, and with a bright blouse and silver jewellery it can go to a festive daytime gathering.

How does it feel on the skin?

Soft and breathable. Pure khadi is handspun and handwoven entirely from natural cotton, which gives it a comfortable, earthy texture. The embroidery is small and light, so there are no heavy patches rubbing against you.

Why are there thicker threads in the weave?

Those are slubs from handspun yarn. When cotton is spun by hand, the thread thickens and thins slightly along its length, and that shows in the woven fabric. It is a mark of real khadi, and each saree's texture is a little different.

How should I iron it?

Iron it slightly damp, on the reverse, with a warm iron; khadi presses best with a little moisture. Keep the iron off the tassels, and avoid pressing directly on the hearts so the embroidery stays neat.
