BASKETWEAVE (waffle)

Thick absorbent yarn dyed basketweave waffle, for fashion, cushions, furnishing or toweling. A customer has sent us some information on the shrinkage after washing of the basketweave, "The width before was 137cm and after a 30degree wash it shrunk to 114, and I got  it up to 119cm with a bit of gentle stretching! You sent a generous length of about 160cm and this is now 130, so it really does loose a lot. The fabric itself changes quite significantly when washed and the waffles become very 'boxy'.
