Peshtemals FAQ

Why should I wash my Peshtemal before the first use?2019-11-30T20:32:30+00:00

Some of the tassels unrevealed after frequent washing. What should I do?2021-01-24T20:58:37+00:00

Regardless of hand-loomed or power loomed, tassels are knotted by hand.

If a tassel unravels you can easily reknott it, or you can leave it alone as it adds an authentic look to the Peshtemal.
