{"product_id":"floral-hand-printed-waffle-weave-bath-towel","title":"Floral Hand-Printed Waffle Weave Bath Towel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrinted by hand using carved wooden blocks in the block-printing tradition of Sanganer, Rajasthan, on a waffle-weave cotton that traps moisture in its honeycomb structure. The yellow floral motif was stamped onto the off-white ground repeat by repeat, each impression slightly different, which is the point. This is what handmade looks like up close.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waffle weave is not decorative texture, it is a functional weave structure, each raised square creating more surface area against the skin and therefore faster absorption. On this towel, that structure is printed by hand using carved wooden blocks carrying a yellow floral motif, in the tradition of Sanganer block-printers outside Jaipur, Rajasthan. The dye settles into the ridges of the weave differently than it would on a flat surface, giving the print a depth that doesn't photograph easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is lighter than a terry towel and dries faster than one. Keep it by the sink or fold it at the foot of a guest bed. The yellow brightens with washing for the first few months, the dye needs time to settle into cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand Block-Printed · Waffle Weave · Pure Cotton · Sanganer, Rajasthan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePure Cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Linen Room\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash cold, gentle cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash separately for first two washes to allow dye to settle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not bleach, natural block-print dyes will fade under harsh chemicals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTumble dry low or line dry in shade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron on medium if needed; avoid direct heat on the printed surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"House of Taraasha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51903892554045,"sku":"HOT-TWL-013","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2363\/3213\/files\/lifestyle_1_e78c9c5b-98b7-4474-b0c5-17d8ae04021c.png?v=1782989772","url":"https:\/\/houseoftaraasha.com\/products\/floral-hand-printed-waffle-weave-bath-towel","provider":"House of Taraasha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
