Kantha quilts are a type of quilt that originated in India. They are made from old saris and dhotis that have been layered together and then stitched with a running stitch. The stitching is done in a way that creates a pattern on the quilt, which can be quite intricate. Kantha quilts are often made from cotton, silk, or other natural fibers, and they are known for their softness and durability. They are also lightweight, making them perfect for use in warmer climates.

The Kantha style quilt adds a touch of traditional Indian art and craft to your home, making it a perfect gift for your loved ones.

Kantha quilts are generally easy to care for and are machine washable. To machine wash a kantha quilt, you should:

Use a mild detergent (eco-friendly, cruelty-free work best)

Set the cycle to delicate/hand wash, normal or blanket setting.

Set the temperature to cold to 30°C (max.) 

Wash indigo separately as there are chances for color bleed.

Wash separately to avoid damage from other items 1

Tumble dry low.

If you happen upon a kantha with particularly delicate stitching or very old weak fabric, it’s recommended to hand wash, to avoid the delicate fabric tearing or threads being pulled. If unsure, always hand wash.
