Kantha Lookbook med res - Flipbook - Page 8
Our new Kantha Cross Stitch Blankets are made in the Jaipur region of India, home to many
traditional crafts of fine artistry and with a long history in handmade quilts.
Each Kantha blanket takes up to a week to complete and is created by layering beautiful soft cotton made exclusively for camomile and like traditional Jaipur blankets also use a cotton wadded
filling. The quilts are hand-stitched together by local artisans, a process called ‘Tagaai’ in Hindi
using our signature cross stitch.
The collection, made up of 6 blankets combines two beautifully contrasting colour-ways on each
side. Each blanket is further enhanced with 2 differing thread colours in the cross-stitch. A highly
technical and time-consuming process, the dual thread cross stitch was a labour of love for both
the design team at camomile and our wonderful artisan makers creating this fine detail.
The finished piece is a beautifully crafted blanket which is lightweight yet cosy with a soft tactile
feeling that is imbued with the care and intention of each pair of hands that has been part of its
journey.
