Features and quality

100% cotton ensures a breathable and skin-friendly fabric. The different qualities vary in weight from 80 g/m² (cheesecloth) to 225 g/m² (canvas), making it easy to choose between an airy, open structure or a sturdy, wear-resistant base. Washing at a maximum of 40 °C is permitted; Drying at medium temperature and ironing at a low setting prevents creasing and preserves the natural fiber structure. We do not recommend bleaching to preserve the unbleached charm.

Inspiration and applications

Unbleached cotton is ideal for a range of applications. Create a robust shopping bag that will still be sturdy after years of use. Form a characterful tent canvas for a festival or camping tent. Cut and paint directly on canvas for unique wall textiles. Sew comfortable blouses or dresses with a rustic look, or use as a lining in cardigans and jackets for a warm, natural inside. Even in interior projects, such as cushions, tablecloths or curtains, unbleached cotton gives a soft, artisanal atmosphere.

Tips for processing

For best results, pre-wash the fabric to minimize shrinkage and remove any wrinkles. Cut with a sharp rotary cutter and finish raw edges with a zigzag or rolland overlock stitch. Use a universal needle size 80 and a strong polyester or cotton thread in a matching color. With canvas, a thicker needle (90) is sometimes desirable to properly pierce the strength.

Customer reviews and experiences
