Baize Fabric is one of our materials here at calico laine that a lot of customers don't really know much about and its only purchased by those who know exactly what they need for. Baize is a woollen cloth that is mostly used to cover pool tables, other gaming tables and for lining drawers in cabinets. It is great for these uses due to it having a heavy nap therefore it prevents objects from slipping and sliding. Baize is a heavy weight durable material often referred to as a felt fabric by most people. It is very common to be able to purchase in bottle green which is the most popular colour when purchased by our customers as its the same shade as most gaming tables. Other colours we can supply in this fabric is emerald green, red and royal blue. The red shade is often used for lining display cabinets such as those found in museums and exhibitions.
