For those of you using a 44-inch wide fabric, this guide suggests measurements for a standard L Size. Think of this as your starting point. If you're working with different sizes or fabric widths, just adjust up or down accordingly. Hope this helps!
When it comes to how much fabric you'll need, it really depends on the design. We'd recommend having a chat with your designer or tailor before you order, just to be on the safe side.

How will my order be packed?

What size is this?
Exact dimensions in inches are listed on the product page. Our towels come in standard sizes that fit most kitchens. Measure your space or current piece for comparison.
Can I machine wash this?
Cotton and linen towels handle gentle machine washes well. Avoid bleach. Wash separately the first time if the fabric uses natural dyes. Air dry for best results.
Is this absorbent enough for daily use?
Our cotton and linen towels absorb well. Handloom fabrics actually improve in absorbency after a few washes. They perform better than synthetic alternatives in the kitchen.
Will the print fade with washing?
Prints hold well with cold water washes. Hot water and bleach will fade any dye faster. Use a mild detergent and you'll keep the design looking sharp for a long time.
Can this handle heat. pots, pans, hot dishes?
Cotton towels handle warm items but are not designed as potholders. For hot cookware, use dedicated heat-resistant pads. Towels are for drying, wiping, and everyday kitchen use.
What is Sambalpuri Ikat weaving?
Sambalpuri Ikat comes from the Sambalpur region of Odisha. Known for its traditional motifs like shankha (conch), chakra (wheel), and phula (flower). The tie-dye-before-weaving technique produces designs on both sides.
How long does it take to weave a Sambalpuri Ikat product?
Weavers tie cotton or silk yarn bundles at specific intervals, dye them, and repeat for each color. The tied yarn is then set on the loom. Patterns appear identically on both fabric faces because the dye penetrates the yarn fully.
How can I tell if this is handloom and not powerloom?
Handloom fabric has a slightly uneven texture when you run your fingers along it. The selvedge edges look different from machine-woven ones. The weave carries a softness that powerlooms cannot replicate.
Why are there slight irregularities in the weave?
A human hand operates the loom. Thread tension, shuttle speed, and pedal pressure vary naturally. These small irregularities are proof of handloom origin. not defects.
How do I care for Sambalpuri Ikat handloom products?
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent for the first few washes. Avoid wringing. gently squeeze and dry flat in shade. The fabric softens beautifully with each wash.
