Fair Trade Organic Cotton Fat Quarters
 

The cotton is grown in northern India.

Our cotton is not sprayed with toxic chemicals. Instead, weeding is done by hand and pests are controlled biologically (by encouraging other insects to control the pests). 

 

This means that the people who grow cotton get a fair guaranteed wage and that their health and welfare is supported. We subscribe to the Fair Trade policy defined by IFAT (The International Fair Trade Association).

Our hand loom cottons are woven and safely dyed using GOTS approved non azo dyes and are woven by a charity-run project involving about 250 workers using hand looms or small power looms.

 

Each piece is 22"x18" in size. Discounts are available if you wish to purchase 4 or more pieces of fabric.

 
 If you require a sample swatch for identification purposes please let me know the colour and the fabric id and I will post to you free of charge.
