Shades

Shades patterns are patterns that are made using different tones of the same colour. These can be made up of different motifs repeated or can be printed with an image. They can also be very geometric. Greyscale colour palettes are generally used but many other colours are available. This fabric is generally printed with the pattern after it has been woven.
