At Calico Laine, we primarily sell dressmaking fabrics and if you are looking for material to create a new outfit we are the place to come to. Although our main focus isn't on upholstery fabrics we do have a number of fabrics that could be used for upholstery and one of these is our Baize Fabric. As Baize itself is a historical fabric and it's appearance has not changed in feel, appearance or style since it was created it is a popular choice for interior restoration projects and creating new furniture to fit in with a historical building. Baize can be seen in many national trust buildings, castles and  historal landmark buildings. Baize Fabric is a heavyweight fabric that is often confused with felt however baize is not manufactured in the same way as felt and is actually a woven wool fabric that simply resembles the look of felt. It is a coarse fabric with a heavy nap to it. This nap means that objects are less likely to slip when placed on top of the Baize Fabric hence it's popularity for covering card and gaming tables. Traditionally Baize Fabric is found in a bottle green colour however at Calico Laine we also stock a brighter emerald green, red and royal blue so you don't have to just stick with the traditional colour. Although this fabric may be more expensive than many of our other fabrics at £29.99 per metre, it is made with a high percentage of Australian wool and it is very durable so will last a long time making it worth spending that little bit extra. It is also 183cm wide so you are getting a lot of fabric for your money. Many of our customers here at Calico Laine come to us when they are looking for Baize Fabric to cover a table or the inside of kitchen drawers or dresser drawers. Some have used Baize for lining jewellery boxes, covering writing desks or even lining gun cases. It is a top quality fabric and will give that sense of luxury to any project that you use it for. Our customers often ask us how to attach the fabric to the drawers and tables and our suggestion for the majority of projects is to use a spray adhesive as this gives an even finish and a strong bond.
