How To Care For Handmade Kantha Throws And Tapestries

Handmade Nakshi Kantha textiles should be handled gently so their stitching, texture, and story can last.

How To Hang A Wall Tapestry

Hang your tapestry in a dry indoor space away from prolonged direct sunlight. Use a method that distributes weight evenly and avoids pulling on a single stitch or corner.

How To Style A Kantha Throw

Layer a Kantha throw across a bed, sofa, reading chair, or bench where the hand stitching can be seen and touched.

Cleaning And Stain Care

Spot clean gently when possible. Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and aggressive scrubbing. For larger cleaning needs, use a professional cleaner familiar with handmade textiles.

Storage

Store your piece folded in a dry place. Avoid plastic storage for long periods, and refold occasionally to reduce permanent creasing.

Sunlight And Fading

Like many handmade textiles, strong direct sunlight can fade color over time. Rotate or reposition your piece if it hangs in a bright room.
