This fabric quality is an exclusive piece brought in as part of a curated Sunwell Japan winter collection. It is available in very limited quantities. If you've had your eye on Japanese-made fabrics, now is the time to secure your favourites before they disappear. Japanese craft washed cotton with a leno dobby weave. Composition: 100% Cotton Width: 106 - 108cm Weight: 91gsm Colour: Bluegum Mini Check is a beautifully detailed check woven in a soft, cool palette of steel blue amd duck-egg blue, balanced with a very subtle, muted teal blue. The base layer of the check is formed by intersecting duck-egg blue stripes, each approximately 7mm wide and repeating every 7mm to create a small, balanced check pattern. Running through the centre of each check is a finer 1mm stripe detail, alternating between a pale, baby blue and a slightly, muted teal blue. *Colour is never exact on screen. Please order a swatch if you are unsure. Quality: The thin navy lines are woven using an open leno weave technique, creating raised, textured lines that sit above the surface of the fabric. This gives the cloth a delicate, almost embroidered appearance, adding beautiful dimension and a handcrafted quality to the otherwise understated check. Despite its lightweight feel, the fabric is opaque enough that lining is not required for most garments. It has a firmer handle with good structure rather than a fluid drape, making it ideal for garments that benefit from a little body. Price: $26 per metre Shrinkage: <3% Care instructions: Hand wash in warm water. Do not soak, bleach or wring. Drip dry or dry without delay away from direct heat. Warm iron. Dry cleanable.
