How to Wash and Care for Khaddar So It Lasts for Years

How to Wash and Care for Khaddar So It Lasts for Years

Handwoven khaddar is tough, but a little care keeps it looking its best for years.

Before stitching: pre-shrink

Pure cotton handloom cloth can shrink slightly on its first wash. Soak the cloth in cold water for 30 minutes, then let it dry in the shade before you take it to your tailor.

Washing

  1. Wash in cold water — hand wash or a gentle machine cycle.
  2. Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach on coloured khaddar.
  3. Wash dark colours separately for the first two or three washes.

Drying

Dry in the shade. Strong sun can fade rich dyes like olive, maroon and navy.

Ironing

Iron on medium heat while the cloth is still slightly damp for a crisp finish.

Looking for something easy to care for? Our Pure White Khaddar and Natural Cream Khaddar are perfect everyday picks.
