A gorgeous Hmong table runner, handwoven from organic cotton and indigo plant dyed with a batik effect by the Hmong Hill tribe of Northern Thailand.
Fold stitched edges surround a beautiful batik stamped design, produced using metal and wooden stamps that the men of the village have traditionally crafted for centuries.
The gorgeous batik design is perfect for adding a hill tribe touch to your home, whether on a table, draped over a bed or anywhere else.
There are four designs available.

NOTES
○ Due to the handmade, hand dyed nature of the Hmong fabric, natural imperfections of color/design, dye/dirt stains etc.. may of course be visible, although (in my opinion) they add to the character of the fabric. Please view the full pictures fully.
○ Fabric Care : Wash fabric in cold/lukewarm water, ideally by hand, and shade dry. Salting the water slightly helps prevent further dye loss.
What is Batik?
Batik is a “resist” process for making designs on fabric. The artist uses wax to prevent dye from penetrating the cloth, leaving “blank” areas in the dyed fabric.
What is Indigo Dye?
Indigo dye has been used for thousands of years by civilizations all over the world to dye fabric blue. As much as 1 tonne of leaves is needed to produce just 2kg of dye. Natural indigo is also a sustainable dye; after the pigment has been extracted the plant residue can be composted and used as a fertilizer and the water reused to irrigate crops.
SHIPPING
Fabric is shipped direct from Northern Thailand and includes a tracking number.
