What does the design look like?
A broad diamond lattice runs down the centre, flanked on each side by narrower knotted panels. Long fringe falls from all three sections, so the piece looks layered, with the central lattice as the focus and the side panels framing it.
Where would a hanging this size work?
At 24 x 40 inches, it is large enough to be the main piece above a bed, a sofa or a dining sideboard. It also fills a tall empty wall in a living room or a stair landing without needing anything else around it.
What is it made of?
It is knotted by hand from cotton cord at the Indiehaat Macrame Unit, under master artisan Brijbala. The white cord keeps the pattern crisp, so the diamond and side panels stand out clearly on both light and darker walls.
Is it a good gift?
It makes a generous gift, since a hanging this size can define a whole wall on its own. The white cord goes with most décor styles, so it is a safe choice when you do not know the colours of someone's home.
How do I care for it?
Dust it with a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment, paying attention to the fringe where dust settles. Spot clean stubborn stains with a mild detergent solution and let it air dry thoroughly.
Will mine look exactly like the photo?
It is tied knot by knot, so the lattice and fringe may vary slightly from the pictures. Colour hues can also look a little different on various screens. These small differences are part of a handmade piece.
