This cotton woven frays at the cut edge, but in return it cuts precisely and does not distort while sewing. 140 cm wide, 120 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 100 % cotton.
The tone Red is full and warm. On black, denim and natural shades it comes out especially clean. Its marled look comes from light and dark fibres and makes the surface livelier than a plain tone. For blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses woven cotton is the classic choice — it holds the shape the pattern sets.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
