Cultivated for untold generations, the soil in New Mexico's ancient community of Taos is one of the area's treasures. Fertile, albeit dry, it looks different depending on your perspective and the wonderful clear light. Amazingly, this fabric seems to have a similar ability to change in appearance depending on what's next to it, what the lighting is, and more. You'll love the undertones of violet and gray, which deepen and intensify the taupe hue.

Light enough for beautiful summery options (or to be worn as inner garments all year long) and with a fine, soft knit that begs to be touched, you'll love this fabric. Great for shirts to brighten your business attire, baby gowns, toddler jumpsuits, schoolkids' skirts ... so very multipurpose, and so much fun!

Designer Marylou Marsh chose this medium-weight jersey because, as she said, "The small amount of stretch and nice body make this fabric a versatile workhorse, good for basic tees, dresses, button-down shirts, shorts, casual pants, sportswear, the list goes on..." (We do encourage you to consider going beyond the basics -- you just may find your efforts rewarded!)

At 9 oz./linear yard, this fabric weighs 5.8 oz./square yard. About 35% stretch adds versatility. As always, our Taos Earth Medium Jersey is colored using low-impact fiber-reactive dyes and knit in the US (from US-grown cotton).
