Imperfection adds to the charm of handmade items. Since the product is crafted entirely by hand on traditional wooden looms, it may feature small irregularities. For example, the selvage—the woven edge of the fabric—might develop loops where the weft (horizontal threads) extends beyond the edge due to loose tension.
If needed, gently hand wash with a mild detergent and let it air dry flat.
Do not machine wash. Do not tumble dry.
