Colour:

Properties:

The high thread count and Oxford style weave produces a pleasing cool, absorbent, breathable and stable light/medium handle, with a reassuring drape quality when used in longer lengths. The close weave of alternating magenta and white together resembles a finely sewn horizontal running stitch. The additional bonus feature of a vertical border that sits on one selvedge makes for creative expression (photo 4).
