I made a handkerchief using fabric that has been dyed using the traditional Indian technique of woodblock printing.
The subtle misalignments and fading of colors that are unique to handmade products create a unique texture and warmth.
The material is a slightly thin plain weave cotton. It is soft and comfortable to the touch, but it gets softer with each wash and feels comfortable in your hand.
The size is approximately 45cm square (individual sizes may vary by 1-2cm) and can be worn around the neck or used to wrap a lunch box.
This is also a perfect item for a gift.
The natural motif of the plant pattern creates a simple and heartwarming design.
You can also use it as a fashion accent by tying it to the handle of a simple bag.
Enjoy the soft texture and comfort of Indian cotton.
◎About woodblock printing
This is a traditional Indian dyeing technique in which woodblocks are made for each color of the design, and then they are stamp one after another to create a single piece of fabric.
From carving the design into the wood to completing the print, everything is done by hand, without the use of machines.
There are craftsmen who carve woodblocks with precision, and craftsmen who stamp the woodblocks without any gaps and layer multiple colors precisely so that the seams are not visible.
To finish a single piece of cloth, it takes a high level of skill, experience, and the hands of many people.
Compared to machine printing, which can print large quantities in an instant, it creates job opportunities for many times more people.
◎Please read the following before purchasing.
1. There may be pattern misalignment, bleeding, uneven coloring, or color skipping.
These are the greatest features of woodblock dyeing, which is a one-of-a-kind item, and we hope you will understand them as the joy of handmade items.
2. The position and direction of the pattern is not consistent.
The cut may vary depending on the area, but the overall impression will be the same.
*Please understand the characteristics of this product before purchasing. If you are concerned about this, please refrain from purchasing.
