Heavy weight kora (unbleached \u0026amp; unprocessed) cotton. Highly absorbent, they are a great alternative to disposable paper napkins. Packaged with a belly band and a hanger, they make an excellent party favor and host or hostess gift. \n\nKind and caring to the environment, hand block printing is a labor-intensive process that involves carving designs on individual wooden blocks, to which dye is applied and stamped on to fabric. Numerous careful impressions are required to complete a single finished product. \n\nA Fair Trade product. Handmade by artisans in India. \n\nHow It's Made\n\n Artisans apply block print patterns to natural, kora cotton - this is unbleached fabric, and is the purest form of cotton. To start printing, an artisan evenly applies dye to a hand-carved wooden block. The fabric is then hand-stamped firmly and steadily, leaving a printed pattern. Dye is frequently added to maintain the same intensity of color. Once the printing is finished with a specific color and block, the artisan cleans the block and must wait for the cloth to dry before continuing. This is a deceptively simple art - each piece features dozens, if not hundreds, of careful impressions. \nHand-stamped by physically challenged artisans who are given a choice of various crafts to be trained in, including block printing, to help best utilize their abilities and interests, \n","brand":"Sustainable Threads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52090569490648,"sku":"301-321-MF","price":40.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0347\/8873\/files\/38ffde995db706fff5598130a92e8b81608abfd5dd256dc8b13448f9b2bf8d6f.jpg?v=1785433686","url":"https:\/\/www.santabarbaracompany.com\/products\/hand-block-printed-cotton-napkins-set-of-4-18-x18-embellish-motifs-fog","provider":"Santa Barbara Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
