Face Cloth

Copenhagen native Liv Berg creates these beautiful knit washcloths in Paris, drawing inspiration from traditional Scandinavian cloths and cleansing mitts.  Made with 100% organic cotton (GOTS certified) that is unbleached, Berg’s knitted face cloths are naturally dyed with plants. They are knit in a seed stitch pattern, which gives the cloth a gentle texture, useful for exfoliation. A crocheted hanging loop is convenient for air drying.  Several natural plants are used in the dying of these cloths, including weld and cutch (acacia)*. The ratio of plants used varies from batch to batch, resulting in cloths that range in color from rich, golden mustard to a deeper rust color.  Colors may vary.  View more naturally dyed bath cloths from Liv Berg here.  Materials:  100% organic cotton, plant dyed Made by:  Liv Berg Made in:  Paris, France Specifications:  Cloth measures approximately 7" x 9" when unfolded and dry.
