Cotton Ikat - Black + ivory circles 0.5m
- Description
Composition: 100% Cotton
Weight: Lightweight
Width: 110cms
Origin: India
Beautiful cotton Ikat woven with a classic circles design.
Our 100% cotton ikat designs produced in small batches on traditional Indian handlooms. We work closely with a family owned business based in Hyderabad, India, to purchase designs in colours that are scheduled to be created at the same time. By producing designs in these colours simultaneously, we help to reduce water consumption during the traditional dyeing process. Our production partner uses only AZO free dyes to create their ikat designs.
These Ikat's are made from a very soft cotton with a lovely drape. For a lightweight woven, they offer great opacity, however if you're unsure please feel free to request a swatch. I have a couple of dresses in this cotton that I haven't needed to line.
Make: For a simple, everyday dress consider a Deer and Doe Myositis dress or something a little more adventurous try a Tudor Blouse from Stitch Witch.
Care instructions: Prewash in the same way you intend to care for your finished garment. I do suggest popping this dark colour in with like colours for the first few washes. Gentle hand wash, line dry in the shade for the best colour retention.
