Description
A gorgeous quality deadstock cotton corduroy in a beautiful warm toffee shade. Made from 100% cotton, this lovely non-stretch fabric has a wonderfully soft, velvety texture with beautifully defined ribs and a fabulous weight to it.
This is an 8-wale corduroy, meaning there are eight raised ribs, or wales, per inch of fabric. The lower the wale number, the wider the ribs, giving this corduroy its lovely textured appearance.
With a beautiful balance of softness and structure, this is a substantial cotton corduroy without being overly heavy or bulky. It has enough body to hold its shape beautifully, making it ideal for trousers, dungarees, pinafores, skirts, dresses and casual jackets.
We can just imagine a fabulous pair of wide-leg trousers made from this gorgeous cord, teamed with a chunky knitted jumper and boots for a cosy Autumn/Winter outfit. Equally lovely for a button-front pinafore, a relaxed shirt dress or a classic corduroy jacket.
The warm toffee colour is a wonderfully versatile neutral, pairing beautifully with creams, soft pinks, chocolate browns, navy and earthy greens.
Being 100% cotton, it’s made entirely from natural fibres, and its lovely weight makes it a particularly good choice for comfortable, cosy garments throughout the cooler months.

Sewing Tips
Corduroy has a directional pile, known as a nap, which means the fabric can look lighter or darker depending on which way the pile runs. When cutting your pattern pieces, make sure they are all laid out in the same direction for a consistent colour and finish. We recommend using the ‘with nap’ fabric layout on your sewing pattern.
Care Instructions
Cool wash on a gentle cycle. Avoid tumble drying. Iron on reverse.
