A little rainbow, woven into cotton.
This cheerful yarn-dyed cotton features oversized checks in a dreamy combination of bubblegum pink, turquoise blue, buttery yellow, soft lavender, and pale peach.
The overlapping colors create beautiful blended tones, giving the plaid a soft, almost watercolor-like appearance.
Bright and playful without feeling overwhelming, this fabric has a lovely nostalgic charm — somewhere between a sunny picnic blanket and a vintage summer dress.
The large-scale checks make a statement on their own, while the airy cotton keeps everything feeling light and effortless.
Hand & Drape
Lightweight and airy, this cotton has a soft, relaxed hand with a gentle, natural drape.
At approximately 100 gsm, it feels wonderfully light and comfortable, making it especially suitable for warm-weather sewing.
The yarn-dyed construction gives the checks a woven appearance rather than a surface-printed finish.
Please note that this fabric is semi-sheer. Light and some underlying colors may show through, particularly in the paler sections.
For dresses and skirts, a lining or slip may be preferred depending on your desired coverage.
Its lightweight construction also makes it lovely for loose, breezy silhouettes and softly gathered details.
