We are so happy to be able to bring you this beautiful fabric from Sally Fox (FoxFibre, Vreseis).

The cotton is grown organically in New Mexico by Alvarez Farms and the fabric is being produced by Taishobo in Japan where it is spun, woven, and finished.

Sally has a long history of growing drought-resistant, long-staple "colored" cotton.

This Sea Island cotton variety was classically bred by the late Dr. Carl Roberts in the 1980s and 1990s from Sea Island variety Montserrat, specifically for the Mesilla Valley in NM where it has been kept in organic production since then.
