"Uzbekistan Fabric X Placemat" Size: 40 x 27cm Material: 100% Cotton Lining: 100% Cotton [About Uzbekistan Ikat] Uzbekistan ikat fabrics are all hand-woven, embodying the rich traditions and craftsmanship passed down since the Silk Road era. This fabric is characterized by its warm expression and colorful, unique patterns, which are sure to bring new charm to fashion and interiors! Since everything is hand-dyed and hand-woven by artisans, there may be some fraying or other colors mixed in the fabric, but we hope you will appreciate it as the beauty of hand-weaving, which cannot be replicated by machines. Also, zigzag lines can be seen every 200-220cm, which is part of the hand-weaving production process. [About Fabric Care] Many Uzbekistan ikat fabrics are naturally dyed. (Some use chemical dyes.) Therefore, color fading often occurs. The degree of color fading varies depending on the color of the fabric and the dyes used, but please handle it with the following points in mind. ① Pre-washing ・Be sure to pre-wash separately (do not wash with other fabrics). ・Use room temperature water. Hot water can cause color fading and shrinkage. ・Keep it short (about 10-30 minutes in water) rather than long. Leaving it in water for a long time increases the risk of color fading and color transfer. ・Hand-woven fabrics are delicate, so just gently soak them in water and do not rub or knead them. ・When drying, direct sunlight can cause fading and discoloration, so dry it in a well-ventilated shade, either flat or hanging. ② Washing Washing is not recommended due to the possibility of color fading. However, if you absolutely want to wash it: ・Soak it individually in water (for a short time) → There is a possibility of some color fading. ・Dry cleaning ・When drying, direct sunlight can cause fading and discoloration, so dry it in a well-ventilated shade, either flat or hanging. Enjoying the color transfer is also an option, so we hope you will handle the Uzbek fabric according to your own use and interests. We also accept custom orders for fabrics sold at the MaryAnor shop, so please let us know the number of the fabric you like.
