Handwoven Cotton Blue Batik Throw

$35.00

Batik indigo dye cotton throws from India are beautifully crafted textiles that showcase traditional dyeing techniques and vibrant colors. 

Material and Craftsmanship:
100% Cotton: These throws, made from high-quality Indian cotton, are known for their softness and durability.

Batik Technique: The batik process involves applying wax to fabric to create intricate patterns before dyeing. This technique results in unique designs, as the wax prevents dye from penetrating certain areas, creating a contrast with the indigo dye.
Indigo Dye: The deep blue hues of indigo dye are not only visually striking but also culturally significant in India. Indigo has been used for centuries in textiles, providing a rich, natural colour.  These throws are versatile, and you can use them in various ways, such as:

  - Bed covers or blankets
  - Tablecloths or picnic blankets
  - Wall hangings or decorative throws
  - Sarongs or wraps

Care Instructions: Initially, it's essential to wash indigo-dyed items separately in cold water, as indigo can bleed significantly during the first few washes. After that, you can wash it in similar colors.

Cultural Significance: The Artisans who craft these throws support local artisans and traditional crafts, promoting sustainable practices and preserving cultural heritage.
