This colorful and vibrant Guatemalan Ikat is one of our all time favorites. This fabric is 1 ply, medium weight, hand woven of 100% cotton on a traditional treadle loom. 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.
This is a handwoven fabric NOT a print.
Approximately 36 inches x 36 inches in a one yard cut.
Weight approximately 7 ounce per yard.
100 % Cotton
Made in Guatemala.
Orders of more than 1 yard will be left in one continuous uncut piece.
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.
