How Sri Sakthi Textiles Became the Top Choice for Cotton Fabric in Erode?

In the bustling textile hub of Erode, there’s a place where quality meets tradition Sri Sakthi Textiles. Decades ago, this family-run business began with a single mission: to craft the finest cotton fabric for people across India and beyond. Word spread quickly as Sri Sakthi Textiles earned a reputation for quality and reliability, becoming the go-to source for cotton fabric in Erode.

As the business grew, so did their collection. The team introduced modal fabric, a soft and sustainable choice that quickly became a favorite among fashion designers looking for that unique blend of comfort and elegance. Soon after, they added linen fabric, perfect for those seeking a breathable, natural look that’s as stylish as it is timeless.

Each roll of fabric tells a story of craftsmanship and care, woven with the dedication that Sri Sakthi Textiles has stood by for generations. Today, designers, artisans, and businesses from all over trust Sri Sakthi Textiles to provide the very best. They know that every fabric—from cotton and modal to linen—is crafted with love and a commitment to excellence, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to bring their creations to life with a touch of authenticity.

working in a factory has you thinking so much about the insane chain of labor & transport that goes into making literally anything

There's something very strange about how people online, usually Americans it feels like but I've seen Brits do it too, talk about natural fibres that makes me feel like we're living in alternative dimensions. In my world and the life I live, cotton is literally everywhere clothes are sold. I can walk into a nearby supermarket and get cotton clothes. Even the fast fashion retailers near me sell cotton. Most of what I can buy locally is either 100% cotton, or a blend that's largely cotton, with increasing amounts of viscose. Even linen, come summer I can easily find linen or linen blend shirts - a bit more expensive, sure, but in the same spaces.

My washing machine has three settings for cottons and one for wools. (And yes, I entrust my handknit items to whatever washing machine is available, and have always been fine.) If I go second hand shopping, it is easy to find cotton, though I will often also encounter viscose and not-infrequently other natural fibres. My iron has settings for cotton/linen, wool/silk, and synthetic. I grew up wearing cotton! It's familiar to me!

Like, it's really weird to me to treat all four 'standard' natural fibres (and their semi-natural cousin viscose/lyocell/tencel/rayon etc) in the same breath, as the same level of difficulty to find and live with and use and care for. I'm always kind of shocked that people seem to be living in the Plastic Dimension and I think yall in there should be mad about it, but it is also a really recent phenomenon and I think it's worth remembering that 'natural fibres' aren't a monolith and they may be more available and easier to handle than you think.

I am preparing an activity for today related to textile history and I wanted to check the good things cotton has as opposed to other fabrics like linen, hemp or wool in case someone asks. And while even wikipedia articles will list all the wonders of these three fabrics, I struggle to find the advantages of cotton.

It's not that cotton is not a good material, but from this research, what cotton has that others don't is good marketing (and well, 19th century slavery as a great support to make all the other textile industries go down).

They rarely list its flexibility, which would be the main difference with linen, for instance, and many of the good things cotton has, linen and hemp also have (but often better). And cotton is not easier to grow, it's quite delicate, only grows in certain weather and requires quite a lot of pesticides (which hemp, for instance, does not, given that it's basically marihuana).

Generally, my conclusion is that these 4 materials are very similar in a lot of ways, with wool being the most distinct of them all (but then, it comes from an animal and not a plant). It's likely there are a lot of interests into maintaining cotton as the main one for some reason that is not "it's hypoalergenic" (so is wool, who knew).

I don't think that ppl who insist plus sized clothing should be more expensive because it's """so much more fabric""" have ever been to a fabric store in their life

on one hand, replacing the collection of polyester pjs I've been gifted over the years with natural fiber sleepwear would prevent me from overheating at night, thus reducing the amount of laundry I have to do each week. on the other hand, getting new clothes would use up new material. in your opinion, which of the following would be more environmentally friendly?

I found this plum coloured satin sheet in an op shop and bought it, turns out it's 100% silk satin and from a brand named Hermes.

I had never heard of them, but mum had. She said they're a luxury brand mostly known for their scarves and bags, so I looked it up. I couldn't find any sheets (I think it's actually pretty old so must have been a previous thing they offered), but what I DID find...

This weird blanket. How much do you think this blanket costs? Take a wild guess

Did you guess $1, $1.5 thousand? Well you'd be wrong, try $10, 485!!!!

I mean it is cashmere, which has a complex method of collection, but the item itself isn't even hand made, it's done by machine. Also it's very ugly (to me) and mostly white! Imagine spilling something on that!

But what REALLY got me was the fact that they make some stuff for dogs. They also make horse stuff (but of course they do, plus their emblem is a horse), but I didn't bother looking at that stuff since horse things are insanely expensive anyway.

But things for dogs. How much do you think this red plastic dog frisbee costs?

$350. For a plastic dog frisby that pooch will slobber all over and chew to bits.

Even more wild to me is buying a leash that costs $1, 520!! For a leash! So many dogs I've known chew on them, and it would literally take a dog half a minute to destroy that! Why!?

Rich people are WILD

i got my first underworks binder today but i cant tell if i like it or not lol. it's a lot more comfortable than my ancient pre loved 1 size too big gc2b but the bind is a little worse?? it's the cotton lined one so idk if that's it. i was really hoping the armholes too small complaints would be true for me bc the gc2b ones are WAY too big but no. the underworks ones are also too big TT_TT i would think abt getting a new gc2b to compare properly but i've been scared off by the quality control complaints lol
