Hand-printed towel

Hand-printing is a method of making a pattern and hand-printing color paste to penetrate the color into the fabric. The skill of the craftsman who is involved in the degree of dye penetration is required. In addition, hand-printing is less likely to cause discoloration than casting, and can express fine designs such as fine patterns. After the dyeing work, the process of drying, steaming, washing, ironing, etc. is completed to complete the wipe.
