I rubbed my thumb across the slub and felt the irregular thread the loom refuses to hide. The Hand Block Akola Print Slub Cotton Fabric does a strange thing. It is printed with mud. Clay, lime, gum, wheat chaff, all pressed onto the cloth through a carved teak block. Then dyed. Then the mud washes away, and the undyed pattern stays. You are holding a fabric that was once half-buried in earth. The slub catches light the way ordinary cotton does not. There is a quiet to it. You only notice once it is in your hand.
