Description:

A bright pinky red cotton/hemp blend fabric. This is beautifully versatile cloth that works for so many of our patterns, it feels like a cotton but the hemp content gives some added texture and slub. It has a dry, chalky finish. We would make the Cassidy jumpsuit, Juno or Peg trousers or a Scout or All State shirt.

116cm wide.
6.31oz, 207gsm.
80% Cotton, 20% Hemp.
Wash at 30 degrees.
Country of origin; Japan
Please be aware that because of the washing at the mill the selvedges can sometimes become distressed.
As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project.
Thread match Gutermann Sew All 624.

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your fabric before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight canvas into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the fabric, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

Wash your fabric on its own for the first wash.
Sink your fabric in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the canvas already wet.
If you can break up your fabric into half this will help.
For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
If any white creases develop, ironing on a medium heat whilst still damp will help.
Can be tumble dried on a low heat.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
