Khadi, also known as khaddar, is a type of natural fibre cloth that is hand-spun and woven. It was promoted by Mahatma Gandhi as a means of achieving self-sufficiency during the freedom struggle on the Indian subcontinent. The first khadi cloth was manufactured in the Sabarmati Ashram between 1917 and 1918. The coarseness of the fabric gave rise to the name "khadi." This fabric is typically made from cotton, although silk and wool may sometimes be included. All the fibres are spun into yarn on a charkha. Khadi is highly versatile, remaining cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
