This 148cm wide, cotton 16 wale needlecord fabric in brown is perfect for jacketing and tunics, dresses or bags! This is a beautifully soft fabric, you've got to feel it to believe it. 

The 16 wale refers to the number of cords or raised rows of velvet per inch, making this a lighter corduroy fabric. As such, it's perfect for garments that are a little floatier. Pre-wash this fabric before you sew so that it shrinks to fit and doesn't bleed in the wash.

Washing instructions

Gentle wash at 30°C with non-bio detergent on a low spin

Do not overfill the drum as this can crush the pile

Take out of washing machine immediately and dry flat

Do not wash with other fabrics that produce lint. Once made up wash corduroy clothes inside out

Do not dry or store in direct sunlight (colour may bleach)

To iron, use a medium setting moving in the direction of the pile with a press cloth

• Please allow 2-10% shrinkage on fabrics to be on the safe side. Wash before making up in the same manner as you would with subsequent washes (including drying methods)
• Please test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash your chosen fabrics, as we cannot accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
• Whilst every effort is made, we cannot guarantee that the colours you see on your screen are accurate because every screen shows colours differently.
