Aqua Blue/White Ikat Blocks Cotton Handloom by the yard. India. #CHL-25

Aqua and white mid-weight cotton double ikat from India, in an overall blurred-edges, slightly rustic check weave. It's about the weight of quilting cotton, about 6 ounces per 44" wide yard, but a bit more drapey, organic and textured. An ongoing favorite, we hear from many of you that you love your shirts, quilts, table linens, pillows, window covering, ponchos, jackets, dresses, scarves, pants and shorts that you've made with this cotton. 

This is a true ikat; front and back are the same, with a few variations and striations. This is the heart of the textural and color uniqueness that define the beauty of this fabric. The little squares? No two will match. This cotton is real - the makers in India are humans using traditional techniques and a lot of hand work. It's not a mass-produced, sleek, perfect print from a large, sterile, modern factory.

The supplier recommends handwashing separately, no chlorine bleach, line dry. In our experience these cottons aren't always colorfast at first, so be sure to pre-treat. We machine wash and dry ours with no problems; they shrink at first and get even softer with time. 

100% Cotton, 44" wide. Sold by the full yard; we'll cut yours in a continuous piece.
