Handwoven Indigo Cotton 4.1oz Blue Vine

£17.50/metre
Description

A traditional handloomed chambray in deep indigo with a bright red selvedge.

Suitable for shirts, tops, skirts and dresses. We would make an Omilie top or an All State Shirt.

  • 92cm wide.
  • 100% organic cotton.
  • 4.1oz, 140gsm.
  • Country of origin; India.
  • For the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.
  • Wash at 30 or 40 degrees with a non bio detergent. Do not tumble dry.
  • As our Indian cloths are handmade, they are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave like banding, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
  • As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project.
  • Thread match Gutermann Sew All 310.

Blue Vine is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Bantam, Saltmarsh and the Heron.

Judy is wearing the Niven shirt in a size 12.

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your fabric before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the fabric, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

  • Wash your fabric on its own for the first wash.
  • Sink your fabric  in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the cloth already wet.
  • If you can break up your fabric into half this will help.
  • For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
  • If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
  • Do not tumble dry.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
