100% Cotton Denim Fabric - Indigo - 10 oz

A true 10 oz denim — the do-everything weight. Heavy enough for jeans, jackets and aprons that will outlast trends; light enough that your home machine will sew it without complaint. This is the fabric for the project you want to still be wearing in ten years, softening and fading into something completely yours.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, and wash separately for the first few washes — indigo likes to share. Tumble dry low or hang. Iron on high. Pre-wash before cutting (twice if you want the shrinking fully done).
