Description

Description

Calico Natural fabric is woven from cotton fibres, found in cotton crops. Therefore, it is completely natural. Because of its unfinished state, there are often cotton seed flecks visible in the fabric. It  has a natural cream finish, making it the perfect base for dying and printing. Calico can also be bleached, resulting in a white finished colour.

Calico is a very basic cotton cloth and gets its distinctive speckled look from the way it is made. The natural fibres give the fabric versatility, allowing it to be used for just about anything. It is durable, affordable, and can be dyed, painted, or printed.

One of the most popular uses of calico natural is garment mock up. Dressmakers often experiment with a design using cheap material before the final fabric is used. Calico fabric is sturdy, durable, and affordable. It is used to manufacture bags, aprons, curtains, and furnishings. Those items will see daily wear and tear, but need to withstand some abrasion and dirt. Calico fabric can be bleached, dyed, and used for many clothing and household items.

To clean calico fabric, use cold water, and a good quality detergent. A gentle wash cycle will maintain the fabric’s suppleness.
