Frequently asked questions
What can I sew with this tweed?
Fabric Depot recommends it for dresses, slacks and suits. It is light-to-medium weight.
Does it stretch?
Yes: moderate four-way stretch. Use a stretch or ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or serger so seams move with the fabric.
Is it see-through?
No, it is opaque.
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.
How do I keep tweed or bouclé from fraying?
Finish edges right after cutting with a serger or zigzag, and consider fusing a light interfacing to stabilize jacket pieces.
How is it sold and where does it ship from?
It is sold by the yard and ships directly from our partner Fabric Depot.
