Delightfully light and crisp, this yarn-dyed cotton boasts a charming check pattern in a unusual mauve and chartreuse colourway with subtle white accents. Made by artisans in India, it's handwoven from 100% cotton, making it breathable, durable and biodegradable at the end of its wearable life. We love it for its crisp drape, soft hand, and airy weave. Try it as a classic button-down, a light shirtdress or a pair of breezy trousers. Semi-opaque, it may require a lining.

Please note that any order over 5 yards may come in multiple cuts, due to the handwoven nature of the fabric.

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.

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.
