Please note that as this is natural loomstate cotton, it may shrink slightly in the wash. From personal testing this can be minimised if you use a cold delicate wash, gently stretch it out after washing and iron once dry. Due to variations in how different screens display colour, there may be colour variation between the image & the physical product.
