Studio Variously Wax Block Print Cotton Table Napkin

Wax block printing is a traditional artisanal method where carved wooden blocks are dipped in wax and stamped onto fabric to create patterns. The wax acts as a resist, ensuring that the natural dyes only color the intended areas, resulting in a unique, textured finish that machine printing cannot replicate.

Because these napkins use pure, natural dyes, they may exhibit slight variations in color or subtle fading over time, which is characteristic of artisanal textiles. To maintain the richness of the brown hue, we recommend washing them in cold water with a gentle detergent and avoiding harsh bleaching agents.

The 60s cotton refers to the yarn count, which results in a fabric that is thicker and more substantial than standard lightweight cotton. This gives the napkins a luxurious, durable drape that feels crisp yet soft to the touch, making them ideal for frequent use.

Yes, these napkins can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Due to the handmade nature of the wax block print and natural dyes, it is best to wash them with like colors and air dry them to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the pattern.

Since each napkin is 100% handmade, there may be very slight variations in size. These minor differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and do not affect the functionality or the aesthetic appeal of the set.
