Mashru Fabric
Mashru is a mixed fabric traditionally woven in Gujarat, India using silk warp threads and cotton weft threads. This produces a fabric with a smooth, shiny silk exterior and a soft, absorbent cotton interior.

Mashru remains an important part of traditional dress and textile culture in Gujarat.

The designs are printed on both sides of the fabric simultaneously using natural dyes in a process called double-sided block printing. Ajrak printing is considered an important part of Sindhi culture and the traditional craft is facing threats due to modernization.
