This is a pure cotton tablecloth, woven by hand on manual looms and enhanced with a complex weave to create a raised texture, which conveys the beauty of handloom weaves and cannot be reproduced on machines.
A Fair Trade product. Handmade by the Physically Disabled Weavers’ Initiative artisans in India.
This textile is produced on hand-operated looms, one of the oldest methods of textile production. Handweaving 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. In this product, two different yarn colors are used - one in the weft and one in the warp.
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.
