Khamma Ghani Textured Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What does the Textured cover look like?

A deep green ground holds orange and blue patchwork squares filled with folk florals, geometrics and mirror dots in red, yellow and purple. A white stitched rim runs around it with multicolour tassels, so the earthy green is framed by a bright, playful edge.

Where does the texture come from?

Several layers of handwork. The pieced patches create raised seams, Kantha running stitches add fine ridges across the surface, and the mirror dots and embroidery sit slightly proud of the fabric. Run your hand over it and you feel the patchwork rather than a flat print.

Which size should I choose?

It is offered in 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. A pair of 16 or 18 inch covers suits most sofas. The 32 x 32 inch size is for floor seating or a single large cushion on a daybed or in a reading corner.

How do I wash it without flattening the texture?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean. Do not wring or twist it; press the water out gently and dry it flat in shade so the stitching keeps its shape. Wash it separately the first few times in case any patch releases colour.

What is the Kantha stitch?

Kantha is a traditional running stitch, worked by hand in lines. On this cover it helps join the patchwork and adds fine lines across the surface, building up the texture alongside the mirror dots and Banjara embroidery.

How would it look in my living room?

Deep green pairs beautifully with wood, brass, cane and plants. Place it on a beige, cream or mustard sofa, or on a dhurrie for floor seating. A plain orange or blue cushion beside it will pick up colours from the patches.
