These Ajrakhs are made by the Khatri family residing in the Kachchh desert of Gujarat, India - a family that have been block printing for over nine generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process of making an Ajrakh is a long one, involving between thirteen and twenty distinct steps. The many processes of scouring, washing, printing, dyeing, and final washing can take up to three weeks to complete. Much of the beauty and depth of Ajrakh cloth comes from the intricacy of the imprint that is left by the artisan’s hand. Slight variations are to be celebrated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiber:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% Organic Cotton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlock printed by hand with natural dyes by master craftspeople in Kachchh, India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003eApprox\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 24\" x 24\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour cloth can be gently machine or hand washed with cool water.
