Peppered Cottons by Pepper Cory for Studio E are 100% shot cotton fabrics that almost fall into the solid colour category. The term shot means that the weft is shot through the warp, but uses a discernibly different colour thread.

Because the warp (lengthwise threads) and the weft (side to side threads) are different colours, the resulting shades are muted and variable combinations of the original colours. For instance, a black warp thread plus a blue weft thread woven together makes for a very dark blue and when it is viewed from different angles, the blues and blacks produce subtly different visual effects.

Above all, shot cottons have a tactile hand-woven quality and display deep colours well since all threads are dyed prior to weaving. There is no wrong or right side to shot cottons – a plus for quilt-makers. They also make beautiful shirting fabric for any garment maker.

Solid colours with spice!
