It looks like suede to me. I've dyed fabric and mine doesn't have that look at all. On the other hand mine are brighter and more crinkled giving it mottled look which is what I wanted at the time. <br /><br />Love the design.

The difference with Cherry Woods is that the fabric looks sueded plus they do get a less textured mottling than I usually can. Perhaps you could investigate alternate base fabrics than you are using for your own dyeing. Most companies like Pro-Chem and Darma sell swatches of all their fabric for dyeing.<br /><br />Then again,if the price per yard isn't bothering you (and actually, it is quite reasonable for hand-dyes), perhaps you should indulge yourself. Yes, you will probably have a lot left over but oh, what beautiful ones.<br /><br />Gosh, if you go to the trouble of having your pixelated version printed on fabric, why bother to cut it up and resew it? Treat it as true cheater cloth and just quilt the seams in! ;-) The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-54619857315594131582015-05-08T13:50:36.035-04:002015-05-08T13:50:36.035-04:00You're right!

I was thinking shot cottons for mine, but I don't know if I'll be able to find enough gradations per color family...kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806888344075888873noreply@blogger.com
