Block Print Cotton Fabric - Dilly

This fabric appears with a delicate floral block print in warm yellow and warm tones set against a rich denim-blue base. Traditionally hand block printed in India, the design has a soft, artisan feel that adds depth and quiet character to your handmade pieces.

Lightweight at 98gsm, its breathable and easy to sew, making it great for dresses, haram trousers or fun lightweight jackets! The denim blue base makes it pop while the small scale floral keeps it beautifully wearable.

As genuine Indian printed fabrics, slight variations in the print reflect the beauty of the traditional hand blocking print techniques used they are not flaws.

As always with naturally dyed fabrics, we recommend washing this fabric with a handful of salt on the first few washes to help fix the dyes and prevent them running. It is also best to keep your regular laundry separate for those first few, until you feel confident that the colours won't run.  It's perfectly normal to loose a little colour with naturally dyed fabrics.
