Frequently Asked Questions Are the stripes printed or woven?

The stripes are yarn dyed, meaning the coloured threads are woven directly into the fabric rather than printed on the surface. This results in a more durable, high-quality finish with a classic woven look.

What is yarn-dyed fabric?

Yarn-dyed fabric is woven using threads that are dyed before weaving, rather than having the pattern printed onto the finished fabric. This creates richer colours, a premium appearance, and a design that looks beautiful on both sides of the fabric.

What can I sew with this lightweight cotton fabric?

This lightweight 100% cotton fabric is ideal for shirts, blouses, summer dresses, tunics, skirts, pyjamas, children's clothing, beach cover-ups, and other breathable warm-weather garments.

Does this fabric look like linen?

Yes. The subtle slub texture gives this cotton fabric the natural appearance of linen while offering the softness, breathability, and easy care of 100% cotton.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Because this is a very lightweight 75 gsm woven cotton fabric, it is better suited to confident beginners and intermediate sewists. Its soft drape creates beautiful garments but requires careful handling during cutting and sewing for the best finish.

Recommended Sewing Needle

For the best results, we recommend using a Microtex (Sharp) sewing machine needle in size 60/8 or 70/10. A fine, sharp needle helps produce clean stitches and minimizes puckering on lightweight woven fabrics like this one.
