Difficulties faced after introducing handloom at Sabarmati are mentioned in the following points :
- When the Satyagraha Ashram was founded at Sabarmati, a few handlooms were introduced there. But no sooner had they done this than, they found themselves up against a difficulty.
- All of them belonged either to the liberal professions or to business; not one of them was an artisan.
- They needed a weaving expert to teach them to weave before they could work the looms.
- It enabled them to know, from direct contact, the conditions of life among the weavers, the extent of their production, the handicaps in the way of their obtaining their yarn supply.
- And the way in which they were being made victims of fraud, and lastly, their ever-growing indebtedness were some of the difficulties faced by them.
- But Maganlal Gandhi was not to be easily baffled. Possessed of a natural talent for mechanics, he was able fully to master the art before long, and one after another several new weavers were trained up in the Ashram.
- Ready-made cloth from Indian mill-yarn was not easily obtainable either from the cloth-dealers or from the weavers themselves.
- All the fine cloth woven by the weavers was from foreign yarn, since Indian mills did not spin fine counts.
- Even today the outturn of higher counts by Indian mills is very limited, whilst highest counts they cannot spin at all.
- It was after the greatest effort that they were at last able to find some weavers who condescended to weave Swadeshi yarn for them, and only on condition that the Ashram would take up all the cloth that they might produce.
- They could get neither a spinning wheel nor a spinner to teach us how to spin and had no idea that these could be used as spinning wheels.
Other than these the difficulties faced after introducing handloom at Sabarmati were :
- People were not ready to accep the change.
- Innovation was expansive.
- They had many supernatural myths.
- People had low awareness and lack of knowledge.
