White on Indigo Shweshwe Border Fabric (1371)

Three Cats shweshwe fabric by da Gama Textiles in South Africa is 100% cotton. The fabric is first dyed indigo blue (real indigo), the border design is then chemically discharged with copper rollers, and then the fabric starched as it has been done since its origins in Germany. Thefabric even has the Three Cats logo discharged on the back. Starch washes out with machine washing (including starch lines that may appear where unwashed fabric is creased. 

For scale, the three cats label is approx. 5 3/8" x 6 7/8". circle is approximately 8 1/4 inches across.

The fabric comes to us folded by the meter (1 meter is approx. 39 inches), so for ease that is how we are selling it, by the meter. The fabric is 35" wide. 

Shrinkage is up to 10% so one meter will end up being a approximately one yard after washing.

Wash separately, cold to warm.
Do not bleach
Do not dry clean.
Tumble drying not recommended by the manufacturer.
