Best way to wash your Hirbawi kufiya
So it has been a couple of days, and you are still pretty excited about owning a legendary piece of accessory that we brought you halfway across the world. Hirbawi keffiyehs are perfect, but we, people, not so much. Especially when it comes to putting food and liquids in our mouth, but they end up on the kufiya instead. Whenever that happens to me, I blame black magic and the evil eye. Regardless of the responsible party, now we need to deal with consequences (hey, when was life fair, right?).
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to be as nice as you possibly can to your beloved Hirbawi kufiya.
- Fill up the sink or a washbasin with cold water.
- Add some detergent and swirl it around to dissolve it in the water.
- Soak your shemagh. You may leave it to soak for a while and come back to it later.
- Move the kufiya around, might do some light rubbing if you have some dirty spots.
- Make sure the area around you is wet, because you are not playing around
- Drain the soapy water from the container and rinse the kufiya a few times with clean water.
- Squeeze the water out of your kufiya but don't apply too much force, especially if you are twisting it
- Fold it in half once or twice and lay it down on a towel.
- Grab one side of the towel and start rolling it up, so all the remaining water gets squeezed out and into the towel.
- At this point, your favorite Hirbawi kufiya might be just damp.
- Now that you've taken the weight of the water out of the kufiya, spread it on a drying rack, ideally horizontally. If all you have is a drying line, you could fold it once or twice and hang it along the middle section to distribute the weight of the keffiyeh equally.
- Take the rest of the day off; that was enough for one day.

Black and White Hirbawi Kufiya
This thing is the real deal. The craftsmanship, build quality, attention to detail is top tier. First thing I noticed is how soft it is, also it's the perfect size. The tag on it is of high quality as well and not flimsy or prone to ripping and scratching at you. I'll never but another one from anywhere else ever again. I was also impressed with how the ends of the material is tied. If you have a chance at getting one, pull the trigger as soon as they are available.

Practical, Beautiful, And Soft
Well made and soft, I love how versatile it is. I am happy to support a local business located in Palestine. Heads up, there is some polyester in the fibers, but that should make it a little tougher than 100% cotton. The only con with polyester is I'll need to be extra careful while working with heat or flame.
F.R.
I can tell I'm going to wear this for many years. Really high quality stitching and high thread count weave.

Excellent quality
Unbelievably smooth and silky fabric, yet feels so durable and strong! I was waiting for nearly two years for these to be back in stock and I managed to be on the site at just the right time. I'm honoured to be able to support Hirbawi and the people of Palestine with this beautifully made kufiya. Free Palestine!

Beautiful, versatile piece
I feel so lucky to have been able to purchase this when I know they are sold out! I get compliments on wearing it all the time, and have worn it as a scarf, a shawl, a blanket, a way to keep the rain away from my face, and even a blanket on the grass. It's beautiful and I hope you can make many more for many people.

LOVE it!
I absolutely LOVE my keffiyeh! It's soft and beautifully woven. I got it as a small way to support the Palestinians in Gaza, and am very proud to own one.
