Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Light Green

What is the light green like in person?

A soft, slightly muted green with a visible slubby texture, so it looks natural and earthy rather than bright. The tassels at the pallu end are green tufts on white threads.

Which blouse colours suit a soft green?

Try a deep maroon, plum or rust for warmth, or white and ivory for a fresh summer look. A darker bottle green blouse gives a tonal, layered effect. Silver, oxidised or antique gold jewellery all suit a matte khadi.

Is a blouse piece included?

Yes. It comes with a running blouse: the blouse length is woven as part of the 6.4 to 6.5 metre saree, and your tailor cuts it from one end before stitching. Ask your tailor to measure before cutting, so the saree keeps enough length for pleats and a full pallu.

How can I tell it is real khadi?

Handspun khadi has small slubs and variations in thickness that you can see and feel, and this saree shows slub flecks across its plain green surface. These minor irregularities are the uniqueness of handcrafted products and part of the earthy texture khadi is known for.

How should I wash it?

Gently by hand with a mild detergent, on its own, and dried in the shade. Avoid wringing it hard; press the water out gently instead to keep the weave even.
