Shot Cotton

File this under fabrics I'd like to know. Kaffe Fassett makes these super pretty shot cottons. Not surprisingly, I'm drawn to the blues and greens.

































According to Bolt Neighborhood

They are from Kaffe Fassett, over at Westminster Fibers. They are a made from two different colored thread, one woven in one direction, the other in the other direction. It's one of those things where the sum is more than the parts. You end up with these gorgeous, deep colors, so much more interesting than a "regular" solid. The shots in particular are very soft and light weight. Really quite lovely.

Oh Fransson has a nice post on different fabric types, and specifically mentions shot cotton in the chambray family. The whole post is definitely worth checking out.

Look at the shot cotton used in this pretty Birthday Party Dress made by Spool Sewing. The color looks so rich and lovely.


















And then there is this simple scarf from the folks at Bolt made with the shot cottons. Want to touch.
