Terry's loops enlarge the surface; that is exactly where its absorbency comes from. Weight per square metre comes to 350 g/m², width to 152 cm. It is woven from 90 % cotton and 10 % polyester.
In Dusty Pink the fabric reads friendly and light — the obvious pick for children's clothes and summer pieces. The edge usually does not fray in these qualities; that saves finishing and makes small pieces possible. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.

Frequently asked questions
How much fabric do I need?
With pile, more than the pattern states: since all pieces must lie the same way, waste arises. Allow extra when the web is narrow. On a narrow web it pays to plan the cutting layout on paper first.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them — especially in this group. Small pieces become appliqué, ears for soft toys, coasters or inserts, and the edge need not even be finished.
Does the fabric fray?
Most qualities in this group do not — felt, fleece, boiled wool and tulle keep their edge. With woven specials such as lace or sequin fabric it is different.
Can I wash it?
The care label on the article says. This group ranges from washable to dry-clean only — there is no blanket answer. When in doubt, test on a scrap before the finished piece gets wet.
