We also produce our own range of hand dyed linens and aida. Our fabrics are known for rich color quality, gentle mottling and a nice in-hand feel. Using quality Zweigart fabrics, our dyeing and finishing process is designed to be gentle on the fabric and to reduce shrinkage.

We dye our colors on a rotating basis, playing with the seasons, fresh hues and familiar favorites. We often create new and special edition colors. Your Colour and Cotton fabric will be as unique as your own project - life is short, use the fabric!
