Khadi is a special type of hand woven cloth of India. The raw materials may be cotton, silk, or wool, which are spun into threads on a spinning wheel called a charkha. The Indian freedom struggle revolved around the use of Khadi fabrics and the dumping of foreign made clothes. Thus it symbolised the political ideas and independence itself, and to this day most politicians in India are seen only in khadi clothing. The Indian Flag is allowed to be made only from this material. Khadi was used, and dyed random colors, in some of the costumes for the Star Wars prequels. Mace Windu''s (Samuel L. Jackson) costume was a good example of this. Suited for all climates, its textured beauty is in tune with the natural look of today.
