H'ammaam

H’ammaam simply means bath. This five piece spa set, made up of a drawstring bag and facecloth, a bath mitt, a washcloth, a bath pouf, and a soap sack (complete with soap inside) will make anyone’s bath even more delightful. They are themed on the sun and spring fields. Shamse means sun, and sun rays make up both the face cloth and bath pouf in this set. Altilal wal’Akhdud means ridges and furrows. You will see that pattern repeated in all of the pieces of this set through a simple, welted, knit and purl design.
