Country of Origin: India Calico 180 TC 115 GSM (170cm width) Calico Information There is often the perception that all calico is pure and has no chemical treatment. The opposite is usually the case. Most, if not all, calico sold in mainstream shops and by fabric wholesalers are treated with formaldehyde. Our 100% Organic Cotton Calico produced to the highest international certification standards is not treated in any way. The only additive in Organic Calico is the Organic Corn Starch which is needed to stiffen the yarn to be able to weave the fabric. It is the best stiffener available - so good you can eat it. Shrinkage: Approximately 10% To soften we recommend washing in a diluted Vinegar and Water solution. Care Instructions Calico is fabric which comes straight from the weaving looms and no further treatment has taken place. After several washes the fabric will soften and some of the wrinkling will naturally smooth out. WASHING: Maximum temperature for washing organic cotton is 30 C as anything higher than this may degrade the fibres and reduce the lifespan of your product. Do not use commercial softening products as they may affect your health and alter the organic nature of the product. Vinegar and Soda Crystals are a good natural substitute to assist in this process instead. DRYING: Line dry; avoid strong sunlight which can cause bleaching and deterioration of this quality fabric. May be machine dried on low heat, keeping it below the maximum temperature of 30 C. Iron with steam if needed.
