Guatemalan Fabric by the Yard. 100% Handwoven Cotton Fabric. Bright Yellow & Green, Ikat Striped Mayan Textiles for Clothing and Home Décor.

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.

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.

100 % Cotton

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.
