This exquisite Turkish throw is crafted from 100% cotton and measures 86" x 65". Its intricate wave-like pattern and hand-knotted fringe make for a stylish addition to any living space, while its versatility makes it perfect for everything from bedspreads to beach blankets.

Each piece is crafted with love in Turkey, with each variation making it unique.

To maintain quality, machine wash cold with like colors and hang dry or tumble dry on low; avoid bleach and fabric softener as they may damage the fabric, and if a loop gets pulled, simply cut it - it will not unravel!

 

Artisan Profile

Originally used in Turkish baths, Turkish towels, also known as peshtamels or hammam towels, have been traditionally hand-loomed in Turkey for centuries. They are made using extra-long, tightly woven fibers which gives them a lightweight, yet highly absorbent quality. The patterns feature vibrant motifs conveying the timeless heritage of the Antatolia culture.

Our Turkish towels and throws are loomed by small, family owned workshops in the Denizli region of Turkey. Weaving is the main source of income for these skilled weavers, who pride themselves on keeping the looming tradition alive, utilizing manual craftsmanship without compromising quality. They only use eco-friendly, OEKO-TEX certified, 100% natural fibers such as cotton and bamboo and colors are achieved through non-harmful dyes. Tassels are hand-knotted by women in their homes.
