The solid color napkins involve merging of 2 different thread shades from the warp and the weft, the interplay of which creates a soft sheen. Handwoven fabrics are meticulously planned and created, requiring a complex estimation, depending on the design. Handweaving is unforgiving: mistakes cannot be reversed as weaves can't be undone.
Soft and highly absorbent, these are a practical way to reduce consumption of disposable paper napkins.
Packaged with a belly band and a hanger, it makes an excellent party favor and host or hostess gift.
