It is handwoven, hand-painted, and crafted using methods that date back centuries. The sort of thing that makes you feel simultaneously cultured and pleasantly cosy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Our Hand Painted Handwoven Throw\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentically Crafted Using Traditional Methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-spun locally grown cotton is woven into narrow strips on traditional double heddle looms. These strips are then sewn together, selvedge to selvedge, creating fabric of proper substance. This is the real deal, not a stencilled approximation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Marvellous Natural Dyeing Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cloth undergoes an utterly fetching transformation through natural mud dyeing. It is first soaked in brown liquid coloured by leaves from the n gallama tree, which acts as a fixative. Tannic acid from the tea combines with iron oxide from the mud to create the distinctive dark brown and black tones you see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Drawn Patterns with Genuine Contrast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artisans draw each design onto the fabric using pointed iron implements, then cover the negative space with fermented mud. This process is repeated until the desired depth is achieved. When the mud dries and is washed away, crisp light designs emerge against the dark ground, creating a beautifully crafted, show-stopping visual effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Bleaching for Pure White Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e The remaining yellow areas are hand-painted with a mixture of ground peanuts, caustic soda, millet bran and water. When washed out a week later, the designs emerge bleached pure white, a dramatic and glorious contrast to the dark background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach One Is Rather Unique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because this is handmade using traditional techniques, subtle variations in colour and pattern are entirely expected and rather wonderful. No two throws are precisely alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 111.8 cm x 200 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-spun and hand-woven cotton, naturally dyed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-washed and ready to use, though do expect gentle colour variation with washing over time, which rather adds to the charm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of throw that deserves a place of honour in your home, whether draped over a favourite chair or across your bed.
