Undyed. This is the cotton exactly as it comes off the loom, in its natural off-white — no colour added at any stage, which makes it the purest piece in the range and the one to choose if your skin reacts easily.
Malmal is muslin — cotton woven at exceptionally fine counts, and for centuries the most sought-after cloth in the world. Ours is hand-spun and handwoven in the khadi tradition, which leaves the weave slightly open and irregular. That is what lets air move through the fabric rather than trapping heat against your scalp and neck.
Cotton holds around 8.5% of its own weight in moisture, so sweat is drawn into the fibre and released to the air instead of sitting on your skin. No dye, no synthetic softeners, no finishes — the softness comes from the yarn itself, and deepens with every wash.
