Majdalawi Fabric: Navy Cotton

This Majdalawi fabric is a cotton blended weave (stiffer than a pure cotton blend). Originally, Majdalawi fabric was woven in a city north of the Gaza region called Majdal. Since Majdal's ethnic cleansing during the Palestinian Nakba in 1948, many families from the town were displaced into the Gaza strip and are now fighting, not only an ethnic cleansing of their people, but of their arts. During less turbulent situations, these families usually weave this fabric and export it to Ramallah for sale and distribution. With the current genocide, it is difficult to source these fabrics directly from families in Gaza. The Majdalawi fabric photographed is woven in Syria and sourced directly from Palestine.
It can be used for multiple purposes including home decor, table runners, tapestries, etc, though the main purpose is to utilize it when creating a traditional Palestinian dress (thobe). We encourage all tatreez-ers stitching their thobes in the diaspora to keep this traditional practice thriving and to utilize this fabric in their thobe-making.

Care
Hand-embroidered tatreez items or woven fabrics can be hand-washed or machine-washed cold using delicate settings and light laundry detergent. We then recommend air drying. This helps preserve the longevity of your piece and further aid in its preservation for years to come.
