Handloomed Cotton Ikat
Beautiful Ikat woven cotton's imported from India. We are working directly with a family based in Hyderabad to create handloomed designs with their small team of skilled artisans.
All of our designs are limited, often only 20-25m per design. We can re-order designs as they sell through, however due to the manual dyeing processes our partner uses, we cannot guarantee an accurate colour match with the following batch.
If something speaks to you, please make it yours + ensure you have enough fabric for your selected project.

View collectionSilk Noil
Silk noil is made from the the short fibres that are left over after combing and spinning the long silk threads from the silk worm cocoons. Traditionally a waste product from the silk manufacturing process, these short fibres are what give silk noil it's distinctive surface texture. This lovely texture makes it appear like is would be quite crisp, but it actually has a lovely drape.
Our silk noil is lightweight, approximately 150gsm, but it's structure provides good opacity. This drape + opacity lend themselves beautifully to shell tops, tanks, dresses, jumpsuits, blouses, flowing skirts, wide leg relaxed fit pants, just about anything you would traditionally craft with a woven fabric. It handles beautifully like a cotton to cut + sew. It has an understated luxury to it with its low lustre, yet high colour vibrancy.
Dry cleaning is often recommended to help retain this colour vibrancy, however silk noil can be gently hand washed. After trial and error with my own garments, I do suggest a gentle hand wash using a small amount of delicate care product and then hang to dry in the shade for best results.

View collectionTENCEL™ Modal jersey
Our collection of TENCEL™ Modal jerseys are delightfully soft against the skin and provide incredible drape for your next knit sewing project. Any of these options would make a wonderful choice for underwear, fitted layers, relaxed fit layers or dresses.
We suggest sizing down for any garments that require negative ease as these lovely knits offer great stretch.
TENCEL™ Modal jersey is also a great knit for relaxed fit / positive ease garments.
Please feel free to order a swatch card to check the stretch, recovery and opacity is suitable for your project.
