Matka Peace Silk/Cotton in Lemon Stripe

Handwoven and yarn-dyed, the combination of silk and cotton lends an elegant touch to your everyday staples while keeping you cool during warm weather. The hand is similar to a slubby raw silk noil, but the cotton gives it more body in its drape. 

This fabric is imported from India and is fair trade certified. Given the handmade nature of this fabric, slubs, uneven-ness, and overall irregularities are expected and add to the charm of the piece. This particular fabric has many slubs present.

**NOTE: Each color in the Matka Silk/Cotton Stripes collection has a slightly different hand, running from silky and soft to very stiff. This particular colorway has a soft hand. ***

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR LENGTH:
Purchases are cut in continuous yardage. If you would like multiple even yards, choose 1 yard from the list and adjust the quantity until you get the desired length. If you need odd yardage (i.e. 2.5 yards), please choose the amount of yards and then add a 1/2 yard selection to your cart. For example 2 quantity of 1 yard and 1 quantity of 1/2 yards = 2.5 continuous yards. If you don't see the yardage you need, please send me a message.
