About Stone Washed Fabric

‘Stone washing’ is a specific form of garment wash. This means garments and textiles are pre-washed after production but before they are used. Among the several types of garment wash, the stone washing process involves having the fabric to be placed in a large industrial cylinder washing machine and filled with large stones after. When the cylinder starts rotating, the movement of the stones inside the drum repeatedly pounds the fabric. The fabric is slightly worn by friction of the stones against it. This process produces your comfy and beautiful cushion covers and throws.

Apart from creating this easy-going, unfussy aesthetic, stone washing also increases the fabric’s softness and flexibility. By loosening the weave of the fabric, stone washing makes cushions you want to instantly snuggle up with. It also gives a slightly faded, vintage fabric color. Stone washed fabric epitomises the contemporary trend for simple interiors that look stunning and are also all about comfort.
