Roc-lon 100% 44/45" Cotton Woven Ticking, Stripe Navy Cut by Yard

I originally purchased this fabric because I wanted make reusable, cloth Christmas gift wrappings. I knew they would look a bit "farmhouse" and primitive but I was fine with that. It works well with my vintage decor. I ended up loving it for wrapping material. I did not wash it and it is very stiff with starch but that worked great for wrapping. Some I made into flat wrappings and others into gift bags. The red color is perfect...a true medium cherry red...not scarlet....not wine. The white threads are really cream as you can see compared to the white crocheted throw. It is weighty and feels very durable. Even if I find I need to wash these wrappings from time to time, I know they will last for **years**. I even lined a wool cross-body bag I made with this fabric and the tight, heavy weave helped give the bag some body/structure. The stripe is truly woven in, not printed. I've now purchased MORE of this fabric...I don't even know what I'll make with it but it is so attractive, durable, and reasonably priced, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to have more in my stash. As I said, I haven't washed it so I can't speak to its color-fastness or shrinkage but, I suspect those won't be real issues.

Perfect

Perfect color, great quality and good value for the money.

This is a nice heavy cotton "mattress ticking" fabric. I bought it to make a tablecloth with an open-ended zippered side for a picnic table with an umbrella. I've made a couple of other regular tablecloths (no hole in the middle) in different colors for camping and other outdoor events before because they are so durable, machine washable and dryable and are thick enough to "bridge" the holes in metal picnic tables or grooves in wooden tables for a smooth surface. It turned out great. Just wash fabric in warm or hot water before sewing as it does shrink a bit lengthwise.

Product was perfect. Was used to repair a feather down pillow I've had for more than 35 years.
