| Stitched Squares India could easily be described as the land of endless variety, this is certainly true when looking at silks saris, there seems to be an never ending variety in colours, designs, textures; some soft, some crisp, some smooth, some textured, hand printed, machine printed, handloomed, machine loomed, pigment dyed, natural dyed and, and, and.... Typically each sari has a ground colour or pattern, often a fancy border along the length and a fancier pallou [part that goes over your shoulder]- a combination of 2 saris will produce about 40 squares, no two are exactly alike because of the variables in the sari cloth. Add to that lots of handstitch- all carefully done and as individual as handwriting... We end up with a batch of squares all same, same but different! Size- stitched area 30 cmx 30cm or 12 in x 12in. Materials- side 1- re-cycled silk saris side 2- black 100% cotton drill 100% cotton threads Care- spot clean with damp cloth or dry clean [because there is such a variation in silks sari materials it is hard to give a general indication....some silk may bleed] Basically our colour schemes can be broken into
