Kantha Throw

Kantha is pronounced Kant-ha.

quilt and art form across the world.


Your one is new fabric purchased in Jaipur, India. 

I have pre-washed it to remove excess dye as recommended in India. 

Your fabric has been hand block printed in the traditional way, s

 will never be perfect. Enjoy the variances
