Before you purchase

* This product is also carried in the stores, so it may occasionally be sold out at the time of your order through the website. Unfortunately if  that the product is out of stock after you placing the order, we will contact you. We appreciate your understanding.

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly made by women in the village using an efficient modern spinning wheel called an “Amber Charka.” When the yarn breaks, it is spun by hand, resulting in neps, which is a characteristic feature.

* Most of hand-spun and handwoven fabrics are produced in village huts, and as a result, threads or grass may occasionally be mixed in. Additionally, there may be uneven areas, wrinkles, or slight discoloration caused by thread breaks, as well as unavoidable minor stains. Please understand that these are characteristic features of those fabrics.

* Depending on the material, friction during use may cause pilling or fuzziness. Excessive friction or pressure can cause a fabric damage, so please avoid such a situation.

* We use natural or traditional dyes (including synthetic dyes) and dye with the traditional methods. Please note that the color may vary slightly depending on the craftsman's sense and environmental factors. The color will gradually fade with use, giving it a unique patina.

* In case the fabric is dyed using natural and/or dark-colored dyes,  please note it may fade or transfer color due to friction, rain, or sweat, etc. Please be careful when wearing light-colored clothing or carrying light-colored bags, or when using them with furniture.

* We recommend washing at home with a neutral detergent in cold water and drying in the shade. Wash dark-colored items separately from others, also use a laundry net if using a washing machine.
