Slight variations in pattern or color are part of the handmade process, giving each piece its own unique character.\n\nPackaged with a hanger and a belly band that tells the story of the product and its artisans, it makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift for Birthdays, Housewarmings, Host Gifts, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.\n\nHow It's Made \n\nThis towel is crafted using the traditional hand block printing technique. Artisans carve intricate designs into wooden blocks, dip them in water-based dyes, and press them onto the cotton fabric one color at a time. After each color is applied, the fabric is left to dry completely before the next layer is added, resulting in rich, layered patterns created through multiple precise impressions. This time-honored process helps sustain artisan communities in Southern India.\n","brand":"Sustainable Threads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48332778635417,"sku":"251-115-KT","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4090\/1017\/files\/ace7c5958e11f5acbd68772778f388a09d6d30b8848f57fc2b0d4c24cee0e576.jpg?v=1784552193","url":"https:\/\/www.intoworld.org\/products\/cotton-kitchen-towel-hand-block-printed-lily-river","provider":"The Hope Collection by INTO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
