5Two paneled red Tzute woven on a back strap loom with three selvedge ends and one with twisted fringes. This utility cloth (Tzute) is use to wrap a bundle, to carry a baby, as a shawl or to cover the basket. Every woman has to have one Tzute at any time with her. The red background of the textile shows very fine warp orange stripes alternated every ¾” with green, blue, pink and purple vertical lines. In the centre of the Tzute it has a 5” width vertical striped section of the same dark colors, which is the highlight of the Utility Cloth. One of the edges is decorated with weft brocaded border which ends on both sides with twisted fringes too. A coloured hand embroidered Randa joins the two panels. All the colours are chemical dyes. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
