Do you need to pre-wash  Shweshwe?

Shweshwe is a heritage product still made the same way as in the industrial revolution. It requires a pre-wash before cutting and sewing.

Just soak your fabric in warm water and hang it out to dry. Plain and simple. No detergents or washing machine required.

You may do a subsequent rinse in lukewarm salty water if you choose.

Please send an email with questions.
