Welcome to More Love Mama Global Textiles. Wrapping you in a world of fabric!
- 100% Cotton for Sewing, Home Décor, Apparel.
- Perfect for garments, housewares, and other textile crafts.
- This is a woven fabric NOT a print.
- Approximately 36 inches x 36 inches in a yard cut.
- Orders of more than one yard will be left in one continuous piece.
- This fabric is 1 ply, medium weight and was completely hand woven of 100% cotton on a traditional treadle loom in the homes of Maya families in the Guatemala highlands, thus making this a 'cottage industry'. This fabric is traditionally used to make simple long skirts worn by Mayan women, but it is also a utility fabric used for things like curtains, upholstery, and other common household needs.
- Made in Guatemala
Guatemalan fabric is 100% cotton, but as it is hand dyed and handmade washing instructions should be followed to maintain the vivid colors: **For the first washing, hand wash or soak fabric in a combination of water and a small amount of non-iodized salt (kosher is okay) to set the colors. **After setting the colors the fabric may be machine washed in cold water using a mild soap. **Line-dry. **Expect fabric to shrink approx 1" in width and length per yard.
