Edge Coaster with Tassels | Multi Colour

Handcrafted charm for modern tables

A Story That Begins with a Loom in a Small Artisan Home

In a quiet town known for its textile traditions, an elderly artisan begins his day long before sunrise. The sound of birds mixes with the soft rustle of yarns as he sits before his handloom. Every colour he chooses—warm ochre, earthy brown, calm blue, bold red—reminds him of memories tied to festivals, nature, and the woven crafts passed down through his family.

On this particular morning, he decides to create something small yet meaningful—coasters with colourful tasselled edges. The thought behind it is simple: even the smallest household items can hold beauty, heritage, and artistry.

He starts with cotton linen yarn, known for its strength and gentle feel. Each strand is placed thoughtfully on the loom, and as he weaves, the pattern forms slowly. Once the base is complete, he ties the tassels by hand—tiny knots, carefully measured strands, and a rhythm only skilled craftsmen know.

By the end of the day, a set of multicolour edge coasters is ready: bright, cheerful, and filled with character.

The Legacy of Handcrafted Coasters

Handwoven coasters have a long history in Indian households. In earlier times, families used woven mats made from cotton threads or natural fibres to protect wooden surfaces from heat and moisture. Over time, these simple mats evolved into decorative coasters, reflecting regional craftsmanship and personal style.

This multicolour edge coaster with tassels carries that legacy. It keeps the spirit of traditional weaving alive while adding a vibrant modern twist.

The Crafting Process

Creating these coasters is a slow and mindful process that cannot be hurried:

Yarn Selection: Cotton linen yarns are chosen for strength, texture, and a natural feel against the surface.

Colour Planning: The artisan selects shades that balance each other—bright tones, earthy hues, or festive colours depending on the piece.

Open Weave Structure: An open weave technique gives the coaster a breathable, airy feel while maintaining durability.

Hand-Tied Tassels: Each tassel is tied individually, trimmed to perfection, and arranged along the edges to create a playful finish.

Final Shaping: The coaster is gently stretched and shaped by hand to ensure symmetry.

Every piece reflects small artistic choices—something no machine can replicate.

How It Differs from Machine-Made Coasters

A machine can replicate symmetry, but it cannot recreate human warmth. These coasters stand out because:

Every coaster is slightly unique: No mass-produced uniformity.

Hand-tied tassels add character: Machines cannot tie tassels with this level of finesse.

Colour combinations vary naturally: The artisan chooses tones based on instinct, not programming.

Better texture and durability: Handwoven cotton linen ages beautifully and feels more authentic.

Supports artisan communities: Every purchase keeps traditional weaving relevant.

Machine-made coasters may be cheaper or identical, but they lack the emotional and cultural value that handmade pieces carry.

How to Care

Hand wash gently in cold water.

Use mild detergent; avoid bleach.

Do not wring—press lightly to remove excess water.

Dry flat to maintain shape and tassel alignment.

Comb tassels gently with fingers if they tangle.

Store in a cool, dry place.

With proper care, your coasters will maintain their colours, structure, and beauty for years.

Lightweight, detailed, and full of personality, these coasters offer something that machine-made products cannot: authenticity and story. Whether purchased for your home or as a thoughtful gift, they add warmth and handmade beauty to any setting.
