This light blue cotton tablecloth, table runner or wrap is light in colour.
The fabric is filled with artisanal perfection and unique quality.
The cotton was hand-spun before being woven by experienced hands.
Indigo blue mixed with white gives the fabric its light blue colour.
The fairly thick yarn is tightly woven.
Like our scarves, this light blue cotton tablecloth, table runner or shawl was made in Thailand.
The weaver receives a fair price for her work.
What sets this tablecloth apart is the use of natural dyes in beautiful indigo blue light tones, creating a denim-like look.
Reminiscent of the timeless charm of denim, it is not only functional but also adds a visually appealing element to any dining table.
The fabric is 192 cm long and 74 cm wide.
The cotton was woven on a wooden loom.
The weaver who made it for you can earn extra income thanks to the sale of her fabrics when there is no yield from the land.
You are paying her a fair price for her work with this purchase.
Not only beautiful but also sustainable
Hand-spun cotton not only offers a luxurious texture but also demonstrates durability.
The tablecloth offers timeless quality, stands the test of time and is suitable for everyday use.
It softens with every wash, making it not only a decorative addition but also an investment in long-term enjoyment.
Staatjebeeldig’s dedication
Staatjebeeldig’s dedication goes beyond aesthetics.
We strive for authenticity by sourcing directly from local communities who dye and weave these beautiful creations using traditional methods.
Recently, we have also teamed up with traditional weavers, spinners and garment makers in Chiang Mai.
We make sure each tablecloth tells a story of craftsmanship and community involvement, and with us, the weavers receive a fair price for their beautiful work.
No pollution of nature
No chemicals pollute our weavers’ rivers.
This is because the blue yarn of this tablecloth does not get its colour from the indigo plant.
That nature does not have to suffer in the making of this beautiful fabric is entirely in keeping with our times.
Yet the dyeing and weaving techniques used by the weaver are centuries old.
Before weaving, the yarn was immersed in rice water.
This way, the threads could be woven without breaking.
This makes the fabric feel slightly harder at first, but it only gets softer after each wash.
You will start to appreciate this handmade accessory more and more.
Especially when you know it is the result of days of weaving with care for detail and beauty.
From cotton to woven fabric
The cotton of this cotton table runner is hand-picked in the Thai countryside.
After picking the cotton, a spinner turned it into long threads.
No machine can fake this.
The yarn is dyed in dyes straight from nature.
