Key Properties of the Material
Care Instructions
These handwoven textiles are crafted with delicate techniques and require gentle care to preserve their intricate patterns.
Cleaning
Spot clean using a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing to prevent snags or distortion of the weave.
Maintenance
Limit friction against rough surfaces, and occasionally brush with a soft fabric brush to keep fibers looking fresh.
Storage
Store flat or gently folded, away from sharp objects that could catch or pull threads.
Do
Don’t scrub or use harsh cleaners
Don’t pull loose threads
Don’t store near sharp objects
Don’t expose to excessive friction
Don't

Fold neatly when storing
Common Issues & How to Handle Them
Handwoven fabric can develop small snags from friction or sharp objects. Carefully pull the snagged thread to the back using a needle or tuck it gently into the weave. Mild fading over time is normal; minimize direct sun exposure to preserve colors.
Sustainability & Ethical Impact
Handwoven textiles are created using low-impact, manual loom techniques that require no machinery or excess energy. This craft preserves cultural skills while providing steady work to artisans.
