Nirmal Rang Pure Cotton Handloom Saree Bottle Green

What shade is it?

It is an earthy, olive-leaning green with a visible slub in the cotton, a muted shade that looks calm in daylight rather than bright. The tassels at the pallu end are the same green, so the whole saree stays tonal.

What are the tassels like?

The pallu, which is plain like the body, ends in a row of chunky green tassels in the same tone. They give the plain, slubbed drape a handmade finish without adding any other colour or pattern to the saree.

How long is the saree?

It measures 6.4-6.5 metres, and that length includes the running blouse. You receive one saree with its running blouse piece. Once the blouse portion is cut off, there is still a comfortable length left for pleats and pallu.

How can I tell it is handloom?

Hand-woven cotton has small variations in the thickness of the yarn and the tightness of the weave, and you can see them here as a gentle slub. Minor irregularities are part of the charm, and they make each saree slightly different from the next.

Will the colour run?

Wash it separately, gently by hand with a mild detergent, and dry it in shade. That is sensible for any dyed handloom cotton, especially in the first few washes, and it keeps the olive green even.
