Our Dobbies are tone on tone 100% pima cotton fabric with a variety of patterns woven through the cloth as a secondary design - much like the stripes of a man's white on white dress shirt [sometimes referred to as a "self-dot"]. The designs can be dots, stripes or floral prints. The white fabrics are photographed over a colored sheet of card stock to make the design more visible. All of these fabrics are snow white in color unless the color is quite obviously not white.
