It is usually referred to as a rough-textured fabric.The cloth is usually woven from cotton and may also include silk or wool, which are all spun into yarn on a spinning wheel called a charkha.

Block print

Jaipur is the land of the art of wooden hand block printing and it was always an inspiration. This is where Lotus Veda started and is still doing a lot with this technique of printing.We mostly work with wooden blocks. Wood has behavioral properties. As block, the wood is much softer and porous and hence picks the color in a better way. For outlines, it's always sharper if we use metal blocks.



natural dyeing & printing

Lotus Veda has been working with the traditional process of hand block printing and dyeing with natural organic colors for around 10 years now.
Indigos, henna, sappanwood, madder, pomegranate, turmeric, weld, logwood are few natural colors we have been working with.



South Cotton

Southern parts of India have been a pioneer in weaving cotton fabrics. Lotus Veda has an opportunity to work with a lot of master weavers from south India in handloom and also small power looms. South cottons are the most strong and durable cotton made. Dobbies / yarn dyes / twisted yarns / chambreys /mangalgiris are few fabrics we have been working since a long time.
