Handmade Indigo Kantha Quilt (Queen) #0096-0111

NEW Indigo dyed kantha blankets are here! Direct from India, these are individually dyed and carefully stamped before being hand stitched by ladies working for additional income for their families.

Kantha quilts are hand sewn blankets made of recycled cotton…every piece is stitched to the next, edges are hand sewn, and they are hand quilted. Perfectly imperfect…these are a wonderful and unique addition to your bedroom and will soften over a few washes.

Size: Queen (88 x 96 inches)
Design: As Shown (photos #1 & 2)

These are fair trade, made by women working at home looking to make additional income for their families. These are NOT the blankets you see on Amazon or eBay. As well as the difference in work quality, many so-called Kanthas are produced commercially and/or not in India…funds from our sales are directly helping people who work hard and live under difficult conditions. The ladies making these are given the fabric already purchased in bulk, and paid per blanket (pay price depending on size). Imperfections, loose cotton quilting threads, small stains, holes and patches should be expected!

Care Instructions: Wash on gentle cycle, air or tumble dry.

*Please note: The fabric used to make these blankets has never seen a washing machine so any staining will be reduced or removed when washed. Blankets are air treated for delivery to the US from India per US law, wash (and dry!) 2-3 times before use to remove any smell left by this treatment. Add vinegar to detergent to speed up the process.
