Jacquard 19,5

An expressive fabric with especially many creative possibilities! The fine base material out of pongé silk is  pervaded by narrow structured cotton stripes that are sometimes matt and other times shiny and lead to a slight gathering of the silk. Through that, a fine play of light and shadows is created and the fabric gets a bordure look with a taffeta like charisma. A fabric with character that appears differently, depending on its partner: its elegance is especially expressed in festive, noble combinations but it is also excellent for combining with a pair of Jeans. Depending on the coloring and painting, Andy even shows it casual ethnic characteristics. Much can be achieved with Andy: it is ideal for the 2-color-dye-technique, where cotton and silk are dyed in different colors - read more about that in the IDEEN journal! Dying with silk paint on the other hand leads to light-dark effects. Andy is a quality that also invites to paint with watercolors, work with cold wax as well as decorating with fine pearls, gold effects, ribbons and edgings... the gently shimmering fabric is perfect for blouses and tunics, for light sommerly shawls and stolas as well as for hand-made scarves (for that simply hem with a machine, as generally done in the industry).This material is even a dream for gauzy, half transparent curtains because it creates a wonderful light and shows its bordure look in an especially attractive way (please do not use for windows facing south, because the silk is light sensitive).
