Description

This tablecloth is made from organic cotton yarns that have been hand-dyed using the Ikat technique, a textile patterning tie-dye process that involves resist-dyeing the yarns prior to hand weaving the fabric. This involves blocking certain areas of a textile from receiving dye which creates for lighter and darker colors to be achieved in the same dyeing process. The Ikat-dyed threads are then used to weave patterned fabric.

Packaged with hang-tag. Makes an excellent host or hostess gift.

A Fair Trade product. Handmade by artisans in India.

How It’s Made

This textile is produced on hand-operated looms, one of the oldest methods of textile production. The weaving involves interlinking a set of vertical threads (warp) with a set of horizontal threads (weft.) meticulous planning and a complex estimation, depending on the design. 

Handwoven at a small weaving unit in Northern India by adult members of a community of physically challenged artisans, and their families. The work offers them employment, life skills training and an avenue for social acceptance.
