homespun cloth
Cottage-woven textile material
Homespun cloth is fabric woven at home rather than in a mill or factory, typically from hand-spun yarn.
The term evokes rustic simplicity and self-sufficiency: The settlers wore homespun cloth through the long winters.
By extension, homespun describes anything plain, unpretentious, or lacking sophistication—homespun wisdom, homespun humor.
