Orange and Black African Batik- 5 Yards

A modern design twist on traditional African tie-dye fabric. Great for clothing, accessories and any craft projects you have on the drawing board!

This fabric is hand-drawn and hand-dyed in Nigeria and consists of traditional Yoruba symbols each with a name and story. The stories are often words of advice from the elders, or a means of documenting social, economic and environmental conditions. The fabric is therefore like a piece of Yoruba art.

For an idea of the scale of the patterns in the fabric look at the last image above.
