Bring colour and authenticity into your home with this beautifully striped Aegean-style tablecloth from Turkey, woven from fine off-white cotton and finished with hand-knotted fringes. Its design features broad blue bands combined with slim reddish-brown and fresh lime-yellow stripes, a unique and vibrant mix. These traditional cloths were originally used as sheets in Turkey and Greece, but they are wonderfully versatile: they also work perfectly as a bedspread, beach towel or picnic blanket. The tablecloth is still woven in the traditional way on old wooden looms, giving each piece its own distinctive character. The fringes are placed along the short ends. This striped tablecloth can also be used as an extra-large beach towel or as a picnic blanket in the summer. Washing and shrinkage Good to know: the cotton tablecloth will shrink during the first wash. After washing, the fabric will become less transparent.
