I have heard the term "mottled" fabric. I look the word up and it says, irregular pattern of colors.
Is this fabric considerd mottled? |
no, but it's very nice.
mottled usually means something that looks like hand-dyed or graduating shades of a color in an irregular pattern, or non-pattern. it's most usually used as a blender fabric, to bring together other, busier fabrics, although it sometimes stands on it's own. |
Thank you butterflywing,
That description is very clear. Guess I'd better get to the fabric store. |
That is a beautiful piece of fabric. Right on butterfly!

Justok, can you tell me the name and mfg of the fabric. It is perfect kaleidescope fabric. I would love to order some.

I think this may qualify....

mottled fabric has almost not texture to it, the blue one I don't think of as mottled, some may. It looks like a batik.
to me mottled is one color but has slight shade variations. |
I think the second example is right on for mottled (at least in my book )...but my goodness, that first fabric is drop dead gorgeous!!!
|
i think the blue is almost mottled, imo. there are some hard edge lines that i wouldn't expect to see on mottled fabric. this is more batik - y looking, as said by brushnthimble.
