This distinctive textured polyester felt fabric features an elaborate raised black cord design secured to a black felt base with fine contrasting stitches. Made from 100% polyester, this Québec designer deadstock textile combines substantial body with an exceptionally dimensional surface.

The looping black cord creates an abstract, free-flowing pattern across the fabric, while the fine contrasting stitches highlight the contours of the design. The result is a richly textured black-on-black surface with subtle contrast and a handcrafted, embroidered-inspired appearance.

At 355 gsm, this heavyweight polyester felt offers substantial body and structure while still forming sculptural folds. It is particularly well suited to statement garments where the texture of the textile can become a central part of the design.

Use it for statement jackets, structured vests, capes, skirts and special occasion garments. Simple silhouettes are especially effective with this fabric, allowing the raised cord design and contrasting stitching to remain the focal point.

Part of our designer deadstock selection, this fabric is available in limited quantities. Once the remaining stock is sold, this exact textile may not be available again.

Working With This Fabric

• Choose relatively simple silhouettes that allow the dimensional surface to remain the focal point.
• Consider the placement of the raised cord design when positioning pattern pieces.
• Avoid placing bulky sections of the embellishment directly within seam allowances whenever possible.
• The raised cord may need to be carefully trimmed or managed within seam allowances depending on the construction method.
• Use a fresh, sharp needle appropriate for heavyweight polyester fabrics.
• Test stitching, seam finishes and interfacing techniques on a scrap before beginning your garment.
• A lining is recommended for jackets, capes and structured garments for a comfortable and polished interior finish.
• Avoid crushing or flattening the raised surface during construction and pressing.

Care Instructions

• Professional dry cleaning is recommended to help preserve the dimensional surface.
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Avoid high heat.
• Do not place a hot iron directly on the raised cord embellishment.
• If pressing is necessary, use low heat and a pressing cloth.
• Press primarily from the reverse side whenever possible.
• Avoid prolonged pressure that could flatten or distort the dimensional surface.
• Always test heat, steam and pressing techniques on a scrap first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this fabric made from?
This fabric is 100% polyester. The composition has been confirmed by the supplier.

What creates the raised texture?
Black decorative cord is arranged in an abstract looping design across the surface and secured with fine contrasting stitches. This creates the distinctive raised, three-dimensional appearance of the fabric.

Felt is generally less prone to fraying than a traditional woven fabric. However, because this fabric has a dimensional cord embellishment, additional care should be taken when cutting and sewing around the decorative surface.
