Throw Blanket Velvet Kantha Hand Embroidered Purple

Hand Embroidered Kantha Stitch Throw Blanket Kantha means "Patched".  It refers to both the style of the stitch & the finished cloth. It was classically created by stacking old saris onto each other and hand stitching them together using a simple running stitch to make a thin cushioned layer. Traditionally Bengali women layered together old discarded clothing with the simple kantha (running stitch) style stitching to make a bedspread or bed cushion, repurposing the old into something useful and protective.  The warm, rich purple of this throw will keep you cozy summer & winter! 60"L x 50"W Cotton Machine Wash Warm Line Dry or Lay Flat
