Features
Where a traditional multi-ply yarn can shadow and dull the surface of the tapestry fabric, Woolsey Cotton behaves more like a single ply yarn encouraging a smooth bright fabric surface.
When woven at our suggested gauge Woolsey Cotton produces a clear and well-defined weave ideal for working shapes and textural stitches.
With our recommended warp sett of 4-6 epi (16-24ends/10cm) Woolsey Cotton will always get predictable coverage taking the guesswork out of project design.
With its quick and easy coverage Woolsey Cotton is ideal for tapestry inspired weaving projects destined for wall décor and home furnishings.
