Bed Sheets are standard sized pieces of beautifully
adorned fabrics used for draping beds. These textiles usually consist of
hand-spun 100% cotton and its finer varieties such as linen and muslin.
The most integral part of these hand-spun bed sheets are its intricate
weaves that epitomise the rich traditional art of the region it belongs
to. Ponduru khadi from Andhra Pradesh, Sambhal puri from Orissa,
Jamdhani from Uttar Pradesh and an extensive variety of cotton from
states like West Bengal, Rajasthan, Assam and Karnataka present a
kaleidoscope of most exclusive patterns depicted on bed sheets. Each
sequence depicted on these fine fabrics is inspired by ancient
folklores, life styles, motifs on various paintings and monuments and
nature. Besides, the hand embroidered bed sheets with vibrant hues of
threads, conventionally from Gujarat, have played a major role in
extending the demand and eventually the export of these items outside
India.
The comprehensive use of hand crafted bed sheets is not to limited to
their designs alone. Hand-spun bed sheets made up of pure cotton are
highly absorbent in nature and resistant to all kind of abrasions. Their
durability against heat and washing further adds to their utility.
