As we have recently updated of Zip section so its not only easier for you to navigate round, it is clearer when you are choosing which Zip is the most suitable for what you are using it for! There are two main choices when looking for Zips- open ended zips and closed ended zips. Open Ended Zips are great if you need your fabric to completely come apart such as jackets and bags. Open Ended Zips are available in either plastic or nylon. Plastic Open Ended Zips are chunkier looking and look great when used with fleeces or heavier weight jackets and come in a lovely selection of colours too! Nylon Open Ended Zips have finer teeth and are also available in some great colour choices so you can match your fabrics to your Zips! We also have Metal Open Ended Zips as well. We are more than happy to match your Zips and Threads to your chosen fabrics too!! If you are looking for a strong Zip, we also have a selection of Heavy Duty Zips, only available in black, they are made from nickel and are great if you are looking for a zip for your work overalls or bags. In range we also have:
  • Basque Zips
  • Brass Zips
  • Reversible Zips
  • Two Way Zips
  • Tent Zips
Dress Zips are closed ended which basically means that they are joined together at the bottom which are perfect for dresses, skirts and trousers and are available in a wide selection of sizes ranging from 4" to 22" and the colour choice is fantastic! If you are making or replacing a Zip in an elegant evening dress, we have a brilliant choice of Concealed Zips which will not distract from your garment as you can only see the discreet pull. in the range we also have Continuous Zipping, Pulls and Bulk Buy Zips so come and have a look at our extensive range here at Calico Laine.
