Advancing Beyond Plain Weave
Four-shaft weaving opens up a world of design possibilities beyond basic plain weave. With four independent shafts, weavers can create twills, herringbone patterns, and complex geometric designs that add sophistication and market value to khadi products.
These patterns are particularly suited for contemporary fashion, upholstery, and premium home textiles where distinctive texture and visual interest command higher prices in the market.
Market Advantage: 4-shaft patterns create premium products that appeal to contemporary buyers seeking unique, handcrafted textiles with sophisticated design elements.
