Antique Chinese Indigo Resist Cloth (by the yard)
Medium to heavy weight: suitable for jackets, interior projects, etc
This cotton is woven by hand and dyed with traditional botanical indigo, using an ancient paste resist technique which is applied using hand cut stencils and a soy/lime paste. The process takes weeks as there is so much drying time and then dyeing and re-dyeing to get such a dark tone. Traditionally these textiles would have been used as bedding.
This piece is in excellent condition and never used, you can see the paste still on it. Due to the nature of handmade textiles, there’s an uneven texture, as it is hand-dyed after the cloth is woven, and you can expect unevenness of color and tone throughout
Color will vary from monitor to monitor.
100% Cotton, made in China
