Khadi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Khadi is Indian handspun and hand-woven cloth. The raw materials may be cotton, silk, or wool, which are spun into threads on a spinning wheel called a charkha. The spinning of khadi was Mahatma Gandhi's main means of providing self-employment to the rural populace of India. He also wanted to spread the message of not using foreign clothes. The freedom struggle revolved around the use of Khadi fabrics and the dumping of foreign-made clothes. Thus it symbolised the political ideas and independence itself, and to this day most politicians in India are seen only in khadi clothing. The Indian Flag is allowed to be made only from this material.

Khadi was used, and dyed random colors, in some of the costumes for the Star Wars prequels. Mace Windu's (Samuel L. Jackson) costume was a good example of this.

Khadi material, being a more crude form of material, crumples much faster than other clothes made from cotton. In order to improve the look, khadi is often starched to have a stiffer shape.
