Rajasthan seemed to be highly suitable for the use of khadi, especially woollen khadi. Wool was available in plenty, the old techniques still in existence. Women usually worked on the spinning wheel in their homes, while the weaver communities were adept on the loom.

Khadi industries were first established in Gadra city (now in Pakistan), and in Bikaner. Two types of khadi are now prepared in Rajasthan, a coarse variety, and a fine one. Coarse "weaving is used for the making of blankets, lots and pattus in most regions, while merino wool is used for making finer pattus, shawls and lois.
