Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this fabric pre-scoured or pre-washed for dyeing and printing?
A: This fabric is loom-state and contains natural starches used during weaving. To ensure maximum paint or dye absorption, we strongly recommend washing and scouring the fabric yardage in hot water with a mild detergent before beginning your print project.
Q: What type of inks or dyes work best on this cotton textile?
A: Because it is a 100% natural plant fiber, it works exceptionally well with water-based fabric inks, oil-based block printing inks, acrylic fabric paints, pigment pastes, and natural dyes like indigo or madder root.
Q: How does ordering multiple yards work?
A: All fabric orders are cut directly from the bolt. If you order multiple quantities, your material will arrive as a single, continuous piece of cloth, allowing you to plan large-scale print runs without breaks.
Q: Will the fabric shrink after I wash out my printing inks?
A: Natural cotton will experience initial shrinkage during its first wash. Pre-washing the fabric before printing stabilizes the weave, ensuring that your stamped patterns do not warp or distort when the finished project is laundered later.
