Shift Happens

Yesterday I received the production sample for our newest run of Whispering Grass (aqua).  After 5 years of being in the organic cotton manufacturing business, I understand that color shift happens.   The last two times we produced Whispering Grass (aqua) the color kept getting darker.  This time, to my pleasant surprise it got lighter!  It actually looks more like the first run we did back in 2005!  I hope you like it too.  For some reason the photos are looking much more grey/drab than the fabric is in real life.  If you would like me to send you a swatch of this new run, just ask!

As always, we dyed the background and then printed on half of the fabric so the solid pale aqua will be a perfect match to this batch.  Amazingly the dyed shade is VERY close to our most recent run.  Now that I have approved the fabric, it still has to make the long journey by boat and through customs.  You can expect that we will have both fabrics back in stock this summer.

FYI Both fabrics are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standards by OneCert.
