Dimensions - 33cm (H) x 45cm (W) Composition - 100% cotton Wash & Care Instructions Our 100% cotton hand loomed textiles only need simple care for preservation and longevity. Hand-wash using warm water and a mild detergent, followed by a gentle wring or spin. Straighten any fringe detail and then it can be dried on a washing line or flat on a towel, followed by a light steam iron, to avoid crushing the natural hand woven texture. Alternatively, dry cleaning is also possible. Our place mats are hand woven in chunky cotton in a muted dual colour herringbone pattern that feature a gentle tonal border and edge. A stylish and simple design for everyday use or for casual dining. Handloom textiles have been woven by generations of Sri Lankan villagers, using techniques originally taught by temple priests. Our textiles are hand made by our gifted artisan weavers in Divulapitiya, on simple wooden frames, weaving by treading pedals to lift the warp threads, while feeding the bobbin through the weft with amazing dexterity. We have made a long term commitment to design training within the community, to embrace the continuity of the craft, and bring new life to this ancient tradition, by blending authentic weaves with contemporary design. Every purchase of our handloom collection helps to support and further empower the artisans who make our beautiful, timeless designs, keeping tradition alive, and finding a place forever in your home.
