What pattern is worked across the Aavaran bedsheet?
The whole surface is covered in a geometric lattice of small floral shapes, worked tone on tone so the design reads as texture rather than loud colour. The motifs sit at a medium scale and repeat evenly from the centre out to the edges, which keeps the bed looking calm and orderly.
How will it look in my bedroom?
The base is a soft butter yellow with mustard in the appliqué, a warm and light combination that brightens a room without overpowering it. It sits easily with wooden furniture, white walls and earthy tones, and looks especially cheerful in a room that gets good daylight.
Who makes this bedsheet?
It is handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Babulal. The appliqué motifs are cut from fabric and stitched onto the cotton base by hand, so every piece carries the work of the women who made it.
How do I wash and care for it?
Dry cleaning is preferred. If you would rather wash it at home, hand wash it gently with a mild detergent and wash it on its own, away from other clothes. Dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
Will it fit my double bed?
Yes, it is designed to fit a standard double bed. The cotton is soft and breathable, so you can use it as your everyday bedsheet rather than keeping it aside only for when guests come over.
Will my bedsheet look exactly like the pictures?
The overall colour will stay similar, but the appliqué patches can vary from piece to piece, because sourcing the exact same patches every time is extremely difficult. That variation is part of what makes each handcrafted bedsheet one of a kind.
