Dungeness is a reliable twill, woven of 100% organic cotton. Its softness and matte appearance make it a natural for upholstery, drapery, top of bed, and apparel.
Eco Facts
Made from American-grown organic cotton, the fabric was woven at the first (and still only) mill in the United States that produces fabrics to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Our next production run of Dungeness may not be an All American made product because this one and only GOTS certified mill in the US has given up its expensive GOTS certification due to lack of demand. Help us create demand!
Dungeness is an organic FABRIC, not just a fabric made of organic fibers.
Fabric Name
We named this fabric after the crab, because besides loving its sweet meat (and feeling guiltless about eating it because it's a Best Choice" according to Seafood Watch published by the Monterey Bay Aquarium), the Dungeness crab (Metcarcinus magister), is native to North America.
Care
Wash in cool water and dry on low heat; shrinkage is 8% in length and none in width. In hot temperatures, Dungeness will shrink a bit over 10% in length the first time you wash it in hot.
Uses
upholstery

Why choose us?
We've done the work for you
Over the years, Patty and Leigh Anne dedicated tons of time researching ethical and sustainable production—how it’s done, and what the implications are to us (and to all living things) and to our planet. They even put it in their mission statement, a goal “to change the way textiles are being made” – kind of a reach for such an upstart little company, right?
