Merchant & Mills : Midnight Orchard Jamandi
A black handloom cotton with a white check and small Jamdani spots. Jamdani is fine muslin cotton with small geometric motifs, it’s a highly skilled weaving technique that has been practiced in India for centuries. This cloth comes alive once washed, it gets much softer and has a beautiful slub and texture.
Merchant & Mills Indian handlooms are delicate and lightweight, so perfect for summer sewing. They can be used for scarves, tops or dresses with some fullness. You can also use them for patchwork or home projects like semi sheer curtains.
- 2.2oz, 76gsm.
- 118cm wide.
- 100% cotton.
- Indian handlooms are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave due to their handmade nature, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
- 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 to prevent it running.
