KANTHA THROW BLANKET

Kantha is a traditional stitch done in West Bengal where line after line of thread is stitched across the length of a recycled saree material. Our Kantha stitched blankets are 5 layers of recycled saree. Our women meticulously sort through piles of sarees to find just the right ones to use for these blankets before layering them up to send to the women who will stitch them. These blankets are not only unique and colorful, but they are amazingly soft and empower the women who make them to help support their families! Measurements: Approximately 3ft x 6 ft Material: Recycled Saree Fabric - You will notice that your blanket is already well loved, displaying patches and small imperfections. That is what we love about these blankets, that they bear the patches of the women who loved them first! And every new stitch tells the story of a women who is helping break the cycle of poverty for her family and community by using her skills to help provide for her family.
