Free Spirit - Kaffe Fassett - Shot Cotton, Plum

So what exactly is a shot cotton? It is cotton fabric in which the warp (lengthwise threads) are dyed one color and the weft (side-to-side threads) are dyed a second color. The word 'shot' here means that the shuttle carrying the weft thread is 'shot' (thrown or mechanically moved) across the warp. It has no right or wrong side, and the right and wrong sides usually look similar.
