Muslin Restocked

We’ve recently restocked the hemp and organic cotton muslin. This is a lovely light weight muslin which is a great multi-purpose fabric. Because it’s organic, it’s lovely and soft, and it’s also 150cm wide which is a bonus!

New Hemp and Organic Cotton Fabric

I’ve just added two new hemp and organic cotton fabrics to the fabric shop. The Hemp and organic cotton textured birch has lovely variegated natural colours and is ideal for all sorts of home decorating, such as curtains, blinds, cushions, lampshades, slip covers and light upholstery. The Hemp and organic cotton stripe brown co-ordinates nicely with the textured one and is also a great home decorating all-rounder.

New Organic Cotton and Hemp

We’ve recently added some new beautifully textured hemp and organic cottons to the store. These ones above are:
Hemp and organic cotton stripe indigo

The canvas is quite heavy at 350gsm and could be used for upholstery or other projects where you need a tough, textured natural fibre. The other two are lighter and very versatile. I particularly love the mottled colouring in the indigo denim. It’s a nice soft one with a beautiful texture and would be lovely in clothing.

Also new are these gorgeous Ink & Spindle fabrics on hemp and organic cotton. Birch red on cream hemp, Wrens red on natural hemp cotton, and Ginkgo lime and fuchsia on cream hemp.

Yak Hair?

What looks like linen and feels like linen but isn’t linen? Yak hair. Serious! I’m fascinated by this fabric. It’s part hemp, part yak hair (well OK, it’s only 10% yak hair). It’s actually a really nice fabric. It has a nice texture, drapes well and has great natural colour variation. But, it’s the yak hair that really gets me. I’m looking forward to saying to a customer, “Perhaps I can recommend the yak hair…”. Heh.

Yesterday’s Fibre, Today’s Fashion

We have these gorgeous new fabrics from the Ink & Spindle studio now available in the store. They are hand-printed in Melbourne on either a linen/cotton blend or a hemp/organic cotton blend. These natural fibres work so well with hand-printing and really add to its textural appeal.

I’m going to use the red Wrens print and red Bloem print to cover three canvases to hang in our hallway (wrens in the middle and a bloem on either side). I’ll show the results when they’re done.
