Merchant & Mills Bandhani Indian Cotton - Watermoss

An unusual south Indian cotton with a soft and silky handle, similar to sateen. A beautiful rich olive green that has been hand dyed using an Indian Bandhani technique in red and white.

Bandhani is a traditional tie-dye technique where the cloth is pinched with fingernails and bound in thread. This gives the fabric lots of dots of different colours.

Please note that some of the threads may still be on the reverse of the cloth, just give it shake, and they will fall off!

*Ironing will flatten the crinkle effect of the fabric.
