Description
Poplin is a smoothly woven cotton with a fine surface. It presses well, holds its shape and carries any print cleanly. The web measures 140 cm across; its weight comes to 120 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % cotton.
Light Grey sits in the achromatic range and gives every colour beside it the right of way. Its floral pattern gives the fabric its theme — depending on the cut it reads playful or calm. It also suits patchwork and quilting: it cuts precisely and does not distort.

Frequently asked questions
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
