A chunky 13.3oz indigo organic cotton denim with red and white line selvedge.

Price is per metre. Multiple quantities will be cut as a continuous length.

Fabric Description

This is classic warp-faced denim, where the right side is indigo, and the underside is white from the weft. The yarns have been dyed with several blue hues, from darker Columbia blue to a lighter, almost baby blue colour and a white thread, and then woven together. This method gives the organic denim a stunning depth of colour. At 68.5cm wide, it is an authentic selvedge fabric produced by hand on small looms.

With a strong weave and soft hand feel, this denim is the perfect weight and softness for jeans, trousers, skirts, heavier dresses, workwear styles, and accessories. It will soften in handle and colour over time.

We also have this fabric in black, light blue, bleached white, and our undyed cream twill is of similar quality and weight.

Pair the fabric with this indigo organic cotton thread and some beautiful, ethical buttons. Not sure if the material's the right pick for you? Pick up a swatch first, or get in touch with our expert team, who will respond within one working day: info@offsetwarehouse.com.

Product information

Ethical & Sustainability Considerations:

The spinning of the organic cotton into yarn, the weaving of the fabric on power looms, and the dyeing of the finished material is all done in a female-led co-operative in rural India, certified Fair Trade by the WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation). Organic cotton is grown without pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers and is picked by hand to retain the integrity of the cellulosic fibre. Non-GMO seeds are used in organic cotton cultivation, ensuring that the farmers are not caught in a web of debt with large companies. This organic cotton is non-certified, being more of a transitional crop to help support farmers and small communities who cannot afford the certification.

Traditional denim uses a lot of water and chemicals in its production; however, this fabric is created using rain-fed organically-cultivated cotton, spun and woven with little electricity, and low-impact dyes. The material itself is biodegradable under the right conditions. 

Suitable For:

Aprons, Bags and Accessories, Belts, Blinds, Curtains & Pelmets, Embroidery, Hand Sewing, Jeans, Machine Sewing, Shirts, Soft Furnishings, Skirts & Dresses, Tops and Tunics, Toys, Trousers & Shorts, Upholstery

Sewing experience: This fabric is a joy to sew and suitable for beginners. 

To care for your product

Suitable for washing machines and tumble dryers. Wash with similar colours. To protect fabrics for longer, hand wash in cool water. Turn the machine down to 30 degrees for a more environmentally friendly wash. In Europe alone, if every household turned its washing temperature down to 30°C, we could save 12 million tonnes of CO2 a year. Suitable for irons med-hot temperature on the reverse. We recommend line drying as this reduces energy usage and looks after your textiles for longer (as they don't get bashed around in your tumble dryer). Use a mild detergent, light botanical refresher or even steam the item you've made in your bathroom after a shower.

Natural handwoven fabrics tend to shrink 3-5%, so please wash this textile before you create any products that will require washing at a later date.

Please Note

Please note that refunds are not possible once fabrics have been cut, unless in the unfortunate event that your material arrives damaged. Please order a swatch before purchasing your metre lengths. Please see our Refunds and Cancellation Policy page for full details.

Due to the nature of handwoven and hand-dyed fabrics, there can be irregularities in the weave. We have quality controlled this fabric. However, there could be minor irregularities that we love and see as normal and charming. If you are unhappy with the material you purchase, please let us know, and we'll do our best to rectify it immediately: info@offsetwarehouse.com.
