Yamihana is a gorgeous abstract floral in rich hues.  There are two 'layers' to this design.  There are the dark shadows of angular foliage and flowers, on top of more rounded outlines of blooms and leaves.  This adds interest, and the effect of the darker colours on the unexpected background colours is striking.  The cloth is a lighter weight 80gsm cotton shirting (akin to a poplin).  It has a bit of crispness and will be perfect for shirts, blouses (that like a bit of structure), and dresses (especially tunics & shirt dresses).  It's soft and smooth against skin.

This Hokkoh abstract floral comes in two colourways:

• Cadmium Orange and Charcoal
• Olive and Black

Cloth Care:

Delicate Cycle; 30 Degrees, Line Dry. Wash colours separately. The finished garment will last longer and look better if it is shaken out when wet and placed on a hanger to dry. To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade. Cotton needs a warm to hot iron. Conduct a spot test. Cotton is dry cleanable.
