Description
Poplin is a smoothly woven cotton with a fine surface. It presses well, holds its shape and carries any print cleanly. The fabric comes 136 cm wide and brings 140 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 100 % cotton.
Azure carries pattern well without covering it — which makes the tone the favourite ground for prints. A batik gradient differs slightly on every length — which is exactly the appeal of these fabrics. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
