Know before you buy
This blanket is not machine washable. To maintain the integrity of the organic cotton and the natural dyes, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth or professional dry cleaning when necessary.
Because each blanket is handcrafted by Ndomo using traditional dyeing techniques, natural variations in color and texture are expected. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your piece is one-of-a-kind.
The blanket is crafted from organic cotton and uses non-toxic dyes, making it a safe choice for most homes. However, please note that it is not certified hypoallergenic.
The Shanga Blanket weighs approximately 1.9 lbs, offering a substantial, high-quality feel without being overly heavy. It is a woven throw, providing a textured, durable finish suitable for layering on a sofa or at the foot of a bed.
No, the blanket is not reversible. The intricate geometric mudcloth design is featured on the front, while the back reflects the construction of the traditional weaving process.
