ALTITUDE: 0-100 METRES · Gujarat, Rann of Kutch
The Kala Cotton Herringbone Table Runner in Ink
RAINFED · Eastern Kutch · No irrigation
Kala Cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) is a rainfed, indigenous variety from Kutch, Gujarat. Handspun and handwoven in Shinay Vishal's studio into a textured herringbone of ink and unbleached white: a broken twill whose diagonal shifts with the light down the length of a table.
The pattern reads as a soft, textured blue across a room and reveals its zigzag up close. Finished with an exposed long selvedge on one side, the mark of handloom, and a quarter-inch double-fold hem to balance it on the other.
