Versatile 100% Pure Handwoven Cotton Batik Scarf/Wrap/Home Decor.
Its An Original Tuban Tenun Gedog (Woven Two Color Thread Cloth), Handmade From Only the Best Hand Picked Kapok Lawa (Brown Cotton) Fibre Balls, Native Specific to Tuban, East Java. Hand Spun Onto Spools, Handwoven on a Primitive Teak Kemplongan.
Although the Designs are Expertly Laid Out & Done, None is Ever Exactly the Same, They all Absorb the Moment the Artisan Made Them – Whether they Pushed Hard or Soft Upon the Fabric, How the Vegetable Dye Came Out that Day & Even the Weather.
This is the kind of thing I love, it Makes Them Unique & Collectable. So While You Might Get a Cheap Sarong Made in a Fast Factory on a Beach Holiday in Bali or Thailand, These are Rare & Although More Expensive, a Life Investment Each With Its Own Tale to Tell For Future Generations.
W60cm x L200 cm (Inclusive 9 cm Tassle Each Side).
*Pictures were taken in natural light & since this item is handspun, handwoven & hand dyed with different hues of dark red, it may show different shades of red depending on amount of light & location* Note: **The item is woven with both warp yarns (which runs longitudinally) & weft yarn (that crosses it). To avoid the warp yarn from getting torn or broken during weaving, the weaver strengthen the yarns with starch, rice-or potato flour. The result is a hardening of the fabric, but will get softer after using or washing a few times. Hand-washing is highly recommended. To Care: 1. To prevent future color bleeding, we suggest adding 2-3 table spoons of table salt in warm water for first time washing. 2. Wring the fabric gently. 3. Air Dry.
