We often think of cotton as a commodity, but we use many different kinds of cotton fabrics. Here are three common types of fabrics that We can make from cotton.

Flannel

Often used for winter layers, flannel is a woven fabric from wool or cotton. Flannel is generally brushed on one side or napped on both sides, giving the fabric a soft fuzzy texture. Flannel is often used in the making of bed sheets and sweaters.

Flannel is known for its softness and warmth, as well as being very resistant. It is usually made with wool or worsted yarn but is also available in synthetic fabrics.

Traditionally, flannel was made from wool, but it is now also made from cotton or synthetic fibres. In addition, the fabric is often blended with other fibres to produce a variety of colours and patterns.

Percale

Depending on the quality of the cotton, percale fabrics are known for their smooth, soft, and crisp finish. They are also durable, breathable, and lightweight. As a result, they are perfect for warmer weather.

Percale is made from long-staple cotton. This cotton has the longest fibres, making it stronger and more breathable. Therefore, it is thought to be the most luxurious cotton.

Percale is also used to make bed linens and clothing. It is one of the most popular weaves for bed linens. It has a crisp, matte finish and is woven with a tight weave.

Twill Binding

Whether you are making a dress, a jacket, or a sweater, cotton twill binding has many uses. You can use it to reinforce seams, bind edges, or adorn many sewing projects.

The twill-woven cotton tape is also quite useful as an upholstery webbing and a bag handle. You can find it in a variety of widths. For example, a 25mm roll will do the trick. A full roll is 72 yards long. You can also find it in a 10mm x 100m roll.

The Cotton Twill Tape may not be the first thing you consider when considering a modern sewing solution. However, the fact is that it is flexible and lightweight. This makes it ideal for modern-day sewing applications.

Batiste

Known for its lightweight, Batiste is a soft semi-opaque fabric. This fabric is often used for summer garments and other lightweight clothing. It is also popular as a lining fabric for high-quality garments.

Batiste fabric is usually made with a blend of cotton and polyester. However, it is also possible to produce batiste fabric from other materials. The best materials for Batiste are those that are mercerized. This process improves the lustre and strength of the fabric. It can also be dyed to meet the colour demand.

Batiste is also a very lightweight fabric, which is why it is popular as bed linen. This is because it will not overwhelm a sleeper with too much weight. This fabric will also breathe well. This makes it great for a baby’s sleepsuit, christening clothes, and even receiving blankets.

Blankets

A cotton blanket can be a great way to add a touch of class to your room. However, there are a few things you need to know about the material to get the most out of your purchase.

Cotton blankets are great because they are soft, breathable, and easy to care for. They are also durable and stain resistant. If you find a stain on your blanket, you can use a warm water wash to remove it.

However, it would be best to be careful when washing cotton because it is prone to pilling; this can ruin your blanket. For best results, follow the label’s instructions for washing. You can also take a little extra time and wash your blanket at least once a month to keep it looking as good as new.
