Khadi Design
Khadi design — handspun texture, honest weaves and prints.
Khadi is a handspun, handwoven natural cloth (usually cotton or silk) with a characteristic uneven texture and matte finish, central to Indian heritage and slow-fashion labels. Its irregular, tactile surface suits earthy prints, block-style motifs and yarn-dyed weaves that celebrate the hand of the cloth. Designs favour honesty over high gloss.
Designing for khadi
PatternAI composes a khadi design and digitises it into a print separation or a handloom-friendly woven file (stripe, check, extra-weft motif), with scale and motif chosen for the textured ground. The design holds to your house’s look and resolves across techniques for a coordinated heritage range.
