What makes Banyan Batiks special?

Banyan Batiks are produced using traditional Indonesian batik wax-resist dyeing techniques, resulting in fabric with deep, layered color and unique, never-exactly-repeated patterns. Each yard has a handcrafted quality that printed fabric simply cannot replicate.

Are Banyan Batiks 100% cotton?

Yes — Banyan Batiks are 100% cotton, woven tightly for excellent durability and stitch definition. They cut cleanly, press beautifully, and hold their color vibrantly through years of washing.

How do Banyan Batiks work in patchwork quilts?

Batiks are among the most versatile quilting fabrics available. Their tonal, all-over patterns work as blenders, backgrounds, and feature fabrics. They coordinate easily with both solid fabrics and other prints.

Do Banyan Batik colors bleed when washed?

Pre-washing is recommended for all batik fabrics to remove any excess dye before use in a quilt. Wash in cool water with a color-catching cloth on first wash for best results.
