Matka Cotton
 
Matka cotton is a handloom fabric made from the waste of Mulberry silk cocoons. It originates from India, particularly from West Bengal and Karnataka. The texture of Matka cotton is rougher and more uneven compared to traditional silk due to the presence of slubs (thicker threads) in the weave, giving it a unique, rustic charm. It's highly breathable, durable, and has a slightly coarse texture, making it suitable for a variety of garments, including sarees, suits, and dresses. Matka cotton is prized for its artisanal quality and eco-friendliness.
