Rui Dhaga is a brand where consumers can buy handwoven fabrics such as dress materials, towels, dhotis, dupattas, Kurtis, bedsheets, & Napkins. Along with famous sarees like Banarasi Sarees, Maheshwari Sarees, Chanderi Sarees, and many other sarees from different parts of India.

Before and after independence, the handloom sector symbolized India’s rich cultural heritage. The Handloom sector is so huge that it is one of the most important livelihood sources in rural and semi-rural parts of India. With new fabric materials launched and made available in the market, our Indian fabric, Khadi Cotton, lost its importance.

Each product at Rui Dhaga is handwoven (no machine work) by highly talented weavers from around the country to help them earn their livelihood.

Before or after independence, Khadi has always been an important part of our Indian cultural history. Khadi was invented by the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi, to boycott British textiles. Khadi is a handwoven fabric of cotton, wool, silk, a mixture of any two, or even a mixture of all three yarns.

Khadi has a very low carbon footprint, as the spinning process of khadi cannot be done on machines; thus, no energy is consumed. Approximately 3 liters of water are used in manufacturing one meter of khadi, while 55 liters of water are used in a meter of the fabric manufactured in the mill.

In large fabric mills, machines do most of the human work, so humans remain jobless. At the same time, in manufacturing khadi, rural and semi-rural Indian areas can earn a source of livelihood. For everyone who wants to adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle and starting incorporating Khadi in their daily wear is a great start to an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Our current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has emphasized more in promoting Khadi and making it available for everyone easily. Narendra Modi has also come up with a Khadi slogan among the Indian citizens - “Khadi for the Nation, Khadi for Fashion.” Because of high Khadi production, almost 50 lacs individuals have been enjoying direct employment by working with rural industry units.

Cotton Picking:

The highest quality of cotton is picked by our skilled farmers and supplied to the artisans for further processing.

Washing:

Cotton is separated from its seeds with a fine comb. This process is called washing.

Spinning:

The cotton fibers are attached together and spun to make a yarn. Spinning also has two types of process, traditional hand spinning on Charkha and mill spinning on big spinning machinery.

The dyed yarns are left to dry, letting the dye settle into the fiber smoothly.

Bobbin Winding:

Yarn is transformed into a hank with bobbin winding called charkha spinning.

Warping:

The set of threads, Warp, is attached to a large spinning wheel called Warping

Street Sizing:

adhesives are sprayed onto the stretched yarns to make them more durable.

Attaching to The Loom:

The completely dried yarn warp is then attached to the loom for the weft winding process.

Weft Winding:

This process is usually done by ladies using their fingertips to give the yarn a perfect tension for the weaving process.

Weaving:

The final weaving process combines the warp and the weft together simultaneously with a shuttle containing the weft. The weaver must have a perfect focus of mind and body in order to give perfect woven fabric.
