Wash and Care Instructions: Caring for your Handwoven Kala Cotton Fabric is as easy as incorporating it into your daily life. To maintain its natural beauty and integrity, follow these simple wash and care instructions: Gentle Hand Wash: We recommend a gentle hand wash with mild detergent to preserve the fabric's texture and color. Fill a basin with lukewarm water, add a small amount of detergent, and gently agitate the fabric. Allow it to soak for a short duration before rinsing with cool water. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as they may compromise the organic integrity of the cotton and affect the fabric's hand feel. Drip Dry in Shade: After washing, let the fabric drip dry in the shade. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as it may distort the weave. Hanging it in the shade prevents prolonged exposure to sunlight, preserving the fabric's natural color. Iron on Low Heat: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting. Kala Cotton has a natural tendency to wrinkle, but a light ironing will restore its smooth appearance without compromising its integrity. Store with Care: When not in use, store your Handwoven Kala Cotton Fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This prevents unnecessary wear and ensures that it's ready for your next creative endeavor. In conclusion, our Handwoven 2/2 Weave RFD Kala Cotton Fabric is more than just a textile – it's a celebration of sustainability, craftsmanship, and individual expression. Elevate your sewing projects with this certified organic, dyeable canvas that invites you to explore your creativity while making a positive impact on the environment.
