'''''Dosuti''''' (''Dosutie, Dusuti, Cotton Dosuti, Dosuti cotton'') was one of the coarser [[cotton]] piece goods produced in the [[Indian subcontinent]]. Originally, it was a handspun and handloom cloth made in the villages. [[Punjab]] had various cotton qualities during the 19th century. All were distinguished by their weight, thickness, and the [[yarn]] ([[Units of textile measurement|count]] and number of yarn used). Dosuti was a [[Textile|cloth]] made by running two yarns in warp and weft as its name refers to ''Do''(double) ''Suti'' (cotton yarns). India's Eastern side was famous for more delicate cotton materials such as Dacca [[Muslin|muslins]], and Punjab and [[Gujarat]] were famous for coarser cotton textile [[piece goods]]. Dosuti was a thick cotton material used for rough usages, such as duster. The other contemporary cotton products were ''Eksuti'' (made of the single thread)'', Tinsuti'' (three threads)'','' and ''Chausuti'' (with four threads), etc.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|last=Baden-Powell|first=Baden Henry|authorlink=Baden Henry Powell|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gg_JAAAAMAAJ|title=Hand-book of the Manufactures & Arts of the Punjab: With a Combined Glossary & Index of Vernacular Trades & Technical Terms ...
