Merchant and Mills - Edo Indigo Cotton
Price is per half metre
eg 5 = 2.5 metres
An indigo cotton with a bold red spot.
Suitable for dresses, tops, shirts, and trousers. We would make a stand out Shepherd or Mathilde.
Please note that as this cloth is heavily dyed with natural indigo we recommend for the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye, however the indigo will continue to come out and lose colour over time.
120cm wide.
100% Kala cotton.
Spot size approx 9.5cm.
Country of origin; India.
Wash at 30 or 40 degrees with a non bio detergent with a handful of salt. Do not tumble dry.
As Indian our cloths are handmade, sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave or print, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
Thread match #1465 - Dark Indigo https://www.thedahliasewciety.au/shop/p/mettler-metrosene-sewing-thread-150m-choose-your-colour

More about this cloth
This cloth is made with Kala cotton. Kala cotton is indigenous to Kutch in India and by default organic, as the farmers do not use any pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. It is a purely rain-fed crop that has a high tolerance for both disease and pests and requires minimal investment. The cotton has a beautiful rustic quality and we love it for it’s eco credentials and raw beauty.
