Ethically Handspun & Handwoven In India

Masterfully produced by skilled artisans on traditional handlooms in India, this handcrafted textile was made using natural fibres and finished using azo-free dyes. For more than 30 years, our supplier has been sourcing high-quality handspun cotton yarn called Khadi, which is then traditionally weaved by artisans in a family-oriented homeworking environment. With its ethical sourcing and fair supply chain management, our supplier has had a positive impact on the traditional weaving community and the environment, through job creation, artisan empowerment, water conservation and a reduced carbon footprint.<br>

Care Instructions

Wash

Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them.

Long-Term Care

It’s important to wash and dry cotton to remove any potential shrinkage down the road. Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on medium or hot. More delicate cottons like voile, double gauze or embroidered cottons should be washed by hand or on the delicate cycle.

Fabric Tips

Use a hot iron when pressing.

Beautiful handwoven cotton

I’m in love with this fabric! The hand feel is beautiful and it has a great drape. I love the pistachio colour, it’s the perfect shade of green.

gorgeous & comfy

A delight to work with and heaven to wear. I made Sew House Seven's Rose City halter dress, and this fabric is perfect for it -- cool, breezy, but substantial enough to be really wearable. Softens nicely with washing. And so pretty!

Dreamy!

The weight and drape on this fabric are lovely and the green color has a hint of vintage to it that I'm really into. The quality is obvious, and I'll be buying more colorways now that I've felt the fabric in person.

So soft and luxurious!

I originally purchased this fabric to make a bag for a friend, but I'm thrilled that I actually get to keep it for myself because it is soo soft and luxurious. It defintely deserves to be made into a garment.

Lovely summer fabric

I really like this fabric. It’s light and airy so should make a nice floaty summer top but the colour and pattern are intense enough that it should reduce see-through.
It has a very, very slightly rustic “tooth”…just enough to make it more interesting.
It came nicely packaged with a little card pinned on with fabric content and washing directions, which will be very convenient.

Exceptional Company

This fabric is exactly as described, and as exceptional as every piece I have purchased from Core Fabrics. Each piece comes beautifully wrapped and includes washing instructions. The care gone into the shipping of their goods is indicative of the quality enclosed. I just love having this new source for amazing, sustainable fabrics! Don’t neglect to check out their sister company, Closet Core Patterns, which produces outstanding patterns!
