Dark, brooding and dramatic, the intense blue of COBALT linen was ideal for Renaissance painter Jacopo Vignali's heightened, operatic scenes.
A leading painter in the Florentine Seicento, Vignali's Baroque paintings were defined by flowing swathes of jewel-toned fabric in midnight blues and crimson reds; set amidst theatrical, directional light, these richly toned colors amplify the romantic agony and tragedy of his stories.

 

 

Fluffy, dimensional, and simply a joy to live with - you’ll feel like a sewing maestro when you pull this cloth out of its first dry cycle.

The fabric arrives flat with a subtle basket-like weave. This weaving technique comes with a delightful surprise once it goes through its first wash and dry.
 

The threads that are woven to make the outside of the squares - they “lift up”.

The threads that are used to weave the inside of the squares - those “drop-down”.
 

You get a cloth that looks like squares of a freshly made waffle deliciousness. It is just that yummy!
 

This cloth is wider than our usual selection at 84" wide.  Once it is washed - the cloth will shrink to get that dimensional waffle surface.

Approximate shrinkage - the width of cloth shrinks 17% (weft of the fabric) and 28% on the length ( warp of the fabric). Shrinkage is based on a warm wash and low-heat dry.
 

Waffle weave cloth is great for:

- Bath towels

- Robes

- Throws

- Duvet covers

- Pillow shams

- Lounge garments

- Decorative pillows

- Curtains

- Beach towels

- Picnic blankets

- items that need to have dimension and softness

 

The cloth is Softened so we have added a softener to give it a silkier hand. The fabric has not been laundered so shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration (shrinkage depends on fabric weave and laundering method).
