The ends of a khadi cloth are usually soft and loose as compared to a machine-woven cloth. So take a part of it and twist it in the direction of the yarn. If the threads tighten, the cloth is khadi. If it comes loose, it is handloom or mill-spun. Take the fabric, and look at it against a light source. If you spot a slight difference in density and considerable transparency, the cloth is most likely khadi. If the density is not uniform but the cloth is not very transparent, it is most likely handloom. If the spinning is completely uniform and the weaving opaque, the cloth is machine spun.

Khadi is very light and soft. Authentic khadi will have the KVIC Khadi logo. Khadi is expensive because it demands time, labour and years of expertise of spinners, weavers and tailors
