Stepping Stone by Merchant and Mills is a cream and black Jamdani cotton check. Jamdani is fine muslin cotton with small geometric motifs, it’s a highly skilled weaving technique that has been practiced in India for centuries. This cloth comes alive once washed, it gets much softer and has a beautiful slub and texture.
The Indian handlooms by Merchant and Mills are delicate and lightweight, so perfect for Summer sewing. They can be used for scarves, tops or dresses with some fullness. You can also use them for patchwork or home projects like semi sheer curtains.
As this fabric is woven by hand it is sometimes susceptible to irregularities which are part of its charm and not a flaw. To give you a sense of scale the stripe repeat is 2cm.
100% Cotton 117cm wide weight 68gms / m2 made in India
Price is per HALF metre. So, if you require 1.5 metres for example, you’ll need to enter 3 in the quantity box.
Merchant and Mills recommend that for the first couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running.
