DETAILS This fabric is hand-painted in our Tessellation design on medium-weight jersey fabric. Use the fabric alone as a single-layer design, or pair it with an un-painted backing layer for reverse appliqué and negative reverse appliqué techniques. Colors are named to indicate cotton stock: Colors ending in "-OG" are 100% organic cotton that is grown and ginned in Texas, spun in North Carolina, and knit and dyed in South Carolina through our partnership with the Texas Organic Cotton Marketing Cooperative. Since 2004, we have had the privilege of working with certified organic growers in Texas to cultivate organic cotton fabrics, beloved for their soft hand and lasting quality. Colors ending in "-SP" are crafted from American-grown, extra-long staple Supima® cotton. A premium cotton that makes up less than 1% of the international cotton supply, Supima® is celebrated for its softness, color retention, and unmatched strength, due to the nature of its extra-long staple fibers. There are roughly 500 family-owned farms across California, Texas, and Arizona, and New Mexico that specialize in growing this unique cotton. *Please note, due to the hand-painted nature of this fabric, the maximum full-yard cut is 4 yards. If you order more than 4 yards, please be aware that you will receive multiple cuts. If you would like the fabric divided in a particular way, leave a note in the "shipping instructions" field at checkout or give us a call at 256-760-1090.• Sold in half-yard or whole-yard cuts• 56" wide; approximately 9.8 ounces per linear yard• 100% organic or Supima® cotton• Dye lots may vary slightly• Fabric is pre-washed• Made in the USA• Ships in 7 - 10 business days• Contact us to help determine how much fabric you will need for your project *Excluded from all sales and promotions.
