Khadigram in Almora is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that provides opportunities to many wool-weaving artisans to come up with new innovative products made of wool. Artisans extract wool from sheep in winter and start production processes such as cleaning, carding, dyeing, twisting, weaving and stitching. The traditional wool manufacturing process is still in practice. The cleaned wool is spun onto spools to make threads and colored as per the requirement. Colored wool is again twisted to make spools and spindles for further weaving. Weaving is practiced in traditional looms. The woven wool cloth is sent to tailoring department to create products like sweaters, winter coats, blazers, blankets and praying mats.

The woolen products have high demand in India during the winter season. Most of the designs have stripes or checks as the main design language. Some of the sweaters are hand-knitted using knitting needles. Weaved fabrics are stitched into coats, jackets, shall and many more woolen wears are stitched by the tailor. The fabric materials and the readymade dresses are also marketed to different parts of India.
