Frequently asked questions
What can I sew with this challis?
Fabric Depot recommends it for blouses, dresses and shirts. It is lightweight.
Does it stretch?
No. It is a non-stretch fabric, so cut and fit it like a stable woven.
Is it see-through? Do I need a lining?
It is semi-sheer. Plan a lining or underlayer for dresses and skirts, or use it as an overlay.
How do I care for it? Should I pre-wash?
Care: Machine Wash Cold Air Dry. Pre-wash it the way you plan to launder the finished piece; natural fibers can shrink in the first wash.
Challis vs voile: which should I choose?
Challis is soft and fluid with more drape, ideal for flowing dresses and blouses; voile is crisper and lighter, better for airy summer tops.
How is it sold and where does it ship from?
It is sold by the yard and ships directly from our partner Fabric Depot.
