Bharatiya winters are unique. Unlike the freezing temperatures of Europe or North America, most Bharatiya homes face mild, dry, or humid winters. This means that the typical heavy blanket often feels suffocating, while synthetic alternatives can trap moisture, irritate skin, and disrupt sleep.
That’s exactly why we at Shramdaan created a collection of handloom cotton chadar designed to provide breathable warmth, whether it’s the chilly nights of Northern Bharat or the milder winters of the South.
Our cotton chadar collection combines ahimsa principles, handloom craftsmanship, and climate-sensitive design, making it the perfect winter bedding for families who care about comfort and conscience.

What Makes Shramdaan’s Handloom Cotton Chadars Winter-Ready?
Before exploring the collection, let’s understand why handloom cotton chadars are ideal for Bharatiya winters.
Handloom Weaving That Traps Warmth Naturally
Unlike machine-made blankets, handloom weaving creates micro air pockets within the fabric. These pockets naturally retain warmth while allowing air circulation, preventing the clammy feeling often associated with heavy synthetics.
Balanced Weave Density
Our cotton chadars are designed with medium to dense weave options, providing warmth without the bulk. This careful balance ensures comfort for layered bedding or single-use, depending on your climate and preference.
Skin-Safe, Breathable, and Ahimsak
Every chadar in the Shramdaan collection is 100% cotton, free of synthetic blends, and finished with care. This makes them gentle on skin, safe for children and the elderly, and fully aligned with our ahimsak, cruelty-free philosophy.
How to Choose the Right Shramdaan Cotton Chadar for Your Winter?

How to Care for Your Shramdaan Cotton Chadar?
-
Wash Gently, Not Frequently: Handloom cotton doesn’t need frequent washing. Use cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent to preserve the weave and natural softness.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals & Heavy Cycles: Skip bleach, fabric softeners, and aggressive machine cycles; they weaken cotton fibres and reduce the chadar’s natural warmth.
-
Shade-Dry for Lasting Comfort: Dry your cotton chadar in shade to prevent fibre brittleness and fading, helping it stay breathable and comfortable over time.
-
Choose Breathable Storage: Store in a cotton or muslin bag during the off-season. Avoid plastic covers that trap moisture and damage natural fibres.
- Let It Age Naturally: With mindful care, a Shramdaan handloom cotton chadar softens and settles with use, becoming warmer, more comfortable, and better with every winter.
