Indian Cross-Stitch Cotton Fabric in Marcy Rust

Marcy Rust in Cross Stitch Cotton from Merchant & Mills A warm rust handwoven cotton with soft lilac cross-stitches, full of texture, depth and quiet handcrafted beauty. With it gently crinkled gauze finish and 140gsm weight, it is light yet substantial - idea for breezy tops and floaty dresses. Handwoven and artisan-made, this cloth celebrates traditional Indian craftmanship. Irregularities in the weave or stitch are part of its handmade nature and not considered flaws. Merchant & Mills do not rush their fabrics to market - they build collections that are timeless, practical and made to last, encouraging slower and a considered approach to sewing. We give this fabric a Sew Eco Stamp 2 as it meets our higher standard for responsible sourcing and quality. Merchant & Mills work only with mills that prioritise ethical business practices and fair working environments along with regularly visiting their partners to uphold these standards. Where sustainability is a journey rather than a badge, responsible sourcing, ethical partner selection and the focus on long-lasting fabrics align with our Eco Stamp 2 criteria.
