There is a quiet rhythm to the backwaters and coastal stretches of Kerala, a steady clack-clack of the wooden loom that has defined the region’s textile heritage for generations. This handloom cotton honeycomb towel is a piece of that living history. Designed for the modern home but rooted in age-old techniques, it brings a touch of coastal breeze and authentic craftsmanship to your daily routine. Dressed in a classic combination of green and white, it is a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the enduring quality of natural fibres.
About the Craft
The art of weaving in Kerala is a communal legacy, often passed down through families who view the loom as a sacred instrument. The honeycomb weave, or "waffle weave" as it is sometimes known, is particularly prized for its three-dimensional structure. This specific texture is created by a clever manipulation of the warp and weft, where the threads are interlaced to form small, recessed squares. This architectural depth is not just for aesthetics; it is a functional choice developed by weavers to increase the surface area of the fabric, making it more absorbent than a standard flat weave.
Speciality
What sets this towel apart is the specific geometry of the honeycomb cells. Because of the 2/30s yarn count, the fabric maintains a crisp structure that softens beautifully with every wash without losing its shape. The green stripes against the white base evoke the lush landscapes of the South, offering a casual, earthy elegance. Unlike mass-produced towels that rely on chemical softeners, the absorbency of this handloom piece is purely mechanical—the deep "cells" of the weave naturally trap moisture, making it an incredibly efficient companion for your morning shower or a trip to the beach.
How to Care?
To maintain the integrity of the handloom weave, it is best to wash this towel in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh fabric softeners, as these can coat the natural cotton fibres and reduce their inherent absorbency. While it can be tumble-dried on a low setting, air-drying in the shade is recommended to preserve the vibrancy of the green hues and the crispness of the honeycomb structure. A light steam iron can be used if you prefer a smoother finish, though many find the natural, puckered texture of the weave to be its most charming trait.
Bringing home this handloom cotton honeycomb towel is about more than just utility; it is about supporting a slow, intentional way of making. It connects you to the weavers of Kerala who put their skill and soul into every inch of the 60-inch length. Durable, highly functional and aesthetically timeless, it is a small luxury that turns a mundane habit into a moment of appreciation for genuine Indian craft.
