Natural dyes derived from plants are a much more eco-friendly way to add some colour into your life! One of the most historically common varieties is indigo, made from the flowers of the indigo shrub. This dreamy handloomed cotton broadcloth uses traditional indigo and resist dyeing techniques to deliver a symphony of blue shades. Crisp and light with a super soft hand, this fabric features a resist-dyed windowpane check motif that is delightfully irregular - we love that you can feel the hand of the maker! Produced by a weaver and dyer co-op in India, it's a fabric we're extremely proud to offer! We see it used for semi-structured garments like camp-collar shirts, sundresses, paper-bag waisted shorts, and the like. Nearly fully opaque, it should not require a lining for most products.

Note: As a result of the indigo dye, you may find this fabric bleeds the first few times you wash it. Be sure to wash with like colours in cold water to minimize dye transfer. You can also add a cup or so of white vinegar to the wash water to further prevent dye bleeding.
