Handwoven Cotton Striped Throw with Tassels

Home Therapy brings to you this fabulous cotton throw, sprinkled with traditional charms and perfect for urban homes!  Featuring a striped pattern and urbane color palette, this offering is also adorned with fringed tassels on its sides; making this throw blanket an exemplary pick for contemporary living spaces.  Made of pure cotton, this woven throw has the added value of allowing more air penetration and is therefore cooler, softer, more absorbent and breathes better than highly uniform, compacted machine-made cotton fabric.  Handwoven on a wooden loom to utter perfection by skilled craftspeople in North India, it takes anywhere between a few days to a couple of weeks to create one such throw!  Handweaving is a craft to reckon with as it requires meticulous rhythm and coordination and often, bare feet to judge the yarn.  Contributing to 95% of the world's handwoven fabrics, manual looms are an indispensable part of India and employ 4.4 million families across the subcontinent.  The creation process may be unhurried as compared to its machine-made equivalent; However, the final product bears that unique artisanal punch of exclusivity!
