Six Squares (25x25cm)
Packs of six natural fibre fabric squares for you to enjoy
All pieces are approximately 25cm x 25cm.
The fabrics are mostly cotton or linen and vary from heavy weight to light dressweight.
The African batiks are often cotton damask so they have a lovely texture and drape. Please be aware that the wax prints will feel stiff from wax residue. Iron between layers of scrap paper or fabric to remove excess wax and/or soak in hot water.
Many of the designs have a larger repeat so will appear differently between packs. They are mostly handpainted or handprinted so are gloriously free flowing and colourful - full of joie de vivre and asking to be used in bold ways.
