All Japanese Yarn Dyed Cotton Fabric for Quilting & Sewing

This Japanese Yarn-Dyed Cotton Fabric is suitable for making quilts, garments, home decor, accessories and bags. It is also a favourite fabric for visible mending, sashiko boro style stitching, and creative textile projects.

Dyed yarn fabrics get their distinctive appearance and feel from how they are woven. The yarns are dyed first, and then the cloth is made. Often a few different weights or textures of yarn are woven into the cloth to add interest and texture to the surface. 

Weaving the cloth from pre-dyed yarn means the colour is embedded in the fabric and will not fade off the surface with washing.
