Description

Calico – Lightweight

Discover the versatility of our Lightweight Calico, a 100% cotton, plain-woven fabric that’s as practical as it is eco-friendly. Its loomstate finish retains the natural characteristics of unbleached and unshrunk cotton, making it a popular choice for a wide range of crafting, dressmaking, and furnishing projects.

Product Details

  • Composition: 100% unbleached cotton, natural and breathable.
  • Design: Plain weave with a raw, natural look.
  • Width: 150 cm (60 inches) – perfect for larger or customized projects.
  • Weight: 123 gsm – lightweight yet durable for diverse applications.
  • Manufacturing: Woven construction for strength and stability.
  • Certification: Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances. Certificates for loomstate calicos are available in our certificates section.

Why Choose Lightweight Calico?

  • Eco-Friendly Fabric: With its natural, untreated finish, calico is a sustainable choice for conscientious creators.
  • Shrinkage Awareness: As a loomstate fabric, it shrinks around 10% on the first wash and 3% thereafter, making it ideal for pre-wash tailoring.
  • Incredibly Versatile: Suitable for dressmaking, craft projects, soft furnishings, and more, its lightweight yet sturdy nature makes it a go-to fabric for experimentation and prototyping.
  • Authentic Look and Feel: The unbleached cotton retains small seeds, giving it a rustic, organic appearance that’s perfect for natural or vintage-style projects.

Care Instructions

Keep your calico projects in excellent shape:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C.
  • Drying: Cool tumble dry recommended.
  • Shrinkage Note: Test a small piece first, and allow for shrinkage in your project planning.

Creative Possibilities

From pattern drafting and mock-ups to finished garments and home décor, Lightweight Calico is a versatile staple:

  • Use it for creating sewing patterns and prototypes.
  • Perfect for crafting tote bags, aprons, and other eco-friendly accessories.
  • Ideal for lining upholstery or making rustic-style curtains and tablecloths.
