Sage Green, Grey & White Silk Ikat Fabric – Feathered Spots

Sage green and dark grey spots, each the size of a hand and feathered at the rim, scattered on white — the quietest of our polka-dot cloths and a near-neutral in a room. The old listing sold it as upholstery; a 60/40 silk-cotton is not a seat fabric. 42 cm wide.

Handmade note

Handwoven on a wooden loom, so expect what the loom leaves: motif edges that feather where the warp shifted, a hairline of colour variation along the length, and a selvedge that is not perfectly straight. The pattern is dyed into the thread, not printed on it, and shows on both faces — the test described in our handwoven versus printed ikat guide. Colours differ slightly between dyelots, so order the full length you need at once.
