Small Cotton Throw, Baby Blanket - Lavender & Lime
Small Cotton Throw, Baby Blanket - Lavender & Lime
One of a kind up-cycled cotton Kantha stitched blanket.
- Super soft cotton layers of cotton saris hand-stitched together
- Small size: 100cm x 100cm
- Perfect knee rug or baby blankets
Small, soft and snuggly, this type of Kantha blanket is cherished by many, warming laps on cold winter nights, comforting children as they fall asleep and giving a touch of character and style to a room as a throw.
Each side is made in Bangladesh from reclaimed cotton saris and features a different fabric. It takes hours of careful hand stitching in even and straight rows with six layers of vintage saris to create this beautiful piece of work. This ancient craft of Kantha stitching has meant many saris have been repurposed over the generations. We think Basha's artistry is some of the best in its region!

Colour and Pattern: We have attempted to capture all the blanket colours and patterns. If you would prefer to see more photos, don't hesitate to contact us; we would be happy to supply you with them.
The fabric is recycled cotton, so it is very soft and snuggly, with the endearing signs of some fading. In thinning cotton areas, the tradition is to carefully sew a patch from the same sari over this portion, and each blanket may feature this artistry.

These cotton throws can be machine washed on a gentle, cold cycle. The close stitching help maintain the shape of the cloth. To extend the blanket's life, we suggest you limit the number of washes. The saris are washed before they are sewn and are rewashed before shipping. They arrive soft, clean and beautiful.

Meet the Makers
The women of Basha are living examples of transformation. Each woman who was once vulnerable to exploitation is now secure. She is working in a safe and caring work environment, paid a livable wage and has had a savings program established.
