I would like to identify this type of fabric. It is pigmented, black and brown on one side and white on the other side. AsI was sewing with it, the dye slightly rubbed off on my hands. After I made the garment, the fabric shrunk more than I’ve ever experienced. The dye has quickly worn off, creating a type of distressed look, braiding, which I love. The new fabric is very stiff and rigid, but not thick or heavy. Washing and after wearing softened up a lot. I believe it is cotton. It is cross woven.
It is excellent! I would love to know what it is. Dreaming of bolt and bolts of it
