Description:

A soft very dark indigo, almost black, denim perfect for interiors, bags, aprons and of course jeans!

We would make a versitile pair of Harlenes with this classic denim.

This is a deadstock fabric. Deadstock fabric is excess fabric from fashion designers, movie sets, and fabric mills that is no longer needed for the job it was originally intended for. It is not reorderable, so when it's gone, it's really gone!

164cm wide.
100% cotton.
12.5oz, 421gsm.
Allow between 3-5% shrinkage when washing.
Country of origin; Italy.
As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project.
Thread match Gutermann Sew All 799.

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your fabric before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the fabric, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

Wash your fabric on its own for the first wash with a handful of table salt. This will help fix the dye to prevent it running..
Sink your fabric in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the cloth already wet.
If you can break up your fabric into half this will help.
For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
Do not tumble dry.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
