This is a 6.5 oz flat cotton twill that is a woven material with a tight weave in a color called "Magenta" and makes one think of the fuchsia plants that grow wild along the hedgerows of Ireland. (Actual color has a bit more red than in this picture.) This material is a nice bottom-weight (paper bag weight) cotton. It would be superb for shorts, pants, skirt, jacket and more. This is 100% cotton, 60" wide.
