This listing is for 1 YARD (36 inches) of 1/2 Inch Wide Guatemalan Handwoven Belt Fabric Orders of more than 1 yard will be left in one continuous uncut piece.
Perfect for garments, housewares, and other textile crafts.
This is a woven fabric NOT a print.
Approximately 36 inches x 1/2 inch in a one 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.
