Nirmal Pure Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree Dark Yellow

What shade of yellow is it?

It is a solid, sunny yellow with a matte surface and matching yellow tassels at the pallu, so the whole saree reads bold and bright. It is a colour that works on its own or with a strong contrast blouse.

What blouse would you suggest?

A sunflower yellow looks great with royal blue, purple, maroon or bottle green. A red blouse dresses it up, and a white blouse keeps it fresh for summer days. Antique gold or oxidised jewellery both suit the matte khadi.

Is the blouse running?

Yes. It comes with a running blouse: the blouse length is woven as part of the 6.4 to 6.5 metre saree, and your tailor cuts it from one end before stitching. Measure with your tailor first so the saree keeps its full pleats and pallu.

Is khadi good in summer?

Yes. It is made first for summer days and travel. The fabric is soft, breathable and lightweight, so it stays comfortable through long, warm hours, and its handspun, handwoven cotton has an earthy texture that suits everyday and office wear.

Any washing tips for bright yellow?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. Strong sun can dull bright yellows, so shade-drying keeps the colour clear. Skip long soaking, which can loosen dye from handspun cotton.
