Fabric of the Week: Mottled Green Batik

By dolapo on 3rd June 2019

This new batik from Nigeria is my current favourite out of all the new batiks we just received. We have loads of new batik designs and we are slowly getting them photographed and listed on the site so watch this space.

This one is a speckled, mottled mix of greens, pale peach, white and more. Reminiscent of a Jackson Pollock painting, it lends itself to so many uses as you don’t have to worry too much about the direction of the fabric pattern.

As usual with our batiks, it is available in two lengths 2.4 Yards (2.2 metres) or 4.8 Yards (4.4 metres). Check out the Mottled Green Batik listing for more pictures and details.
