Our softest batch of Handwoven Cottons yet! Handmade by skilled artisans in Bengal, India, this fabric was crafted using indigenous weaves and techniques. This lightweight woven is made from cotton and hemp yarns and dyed with azo-free reactive dyes and woven together on a handloom to create its unique plaid design. Featuring a subtly textured hand that’s soft to the touch and a soft, airy drape, this breezy cotton is perfect for a variety of warm weather makes like gathered dresses & tops, tiered skirts, featherlight button-ups, and loungewear, as well as quilted projects.

Read more about how these fabrics are made and India’s long-standing tradition of handwoven textiles over on our Resource page.

Due to the handwoven nature of this fabric, the grainline may be slightly askew and you may find colour variations, slubs, or ties within the yardage. We encourage you to embrace these irregularities as they are a natural part of handcrafted textiles.
