Here at Calico Laine we stock a wide variety of fabrics which are ideally suited to winter dressmaking, including our selection of Brushed Cotton fabrics. These fabrics can be found in the Winter Woolens section of our website and are one of the most suitable fabrics to be used during the colder weather. Brushed Cotton fabrics have an ultra soft and smooth finished as they have been brushed to remove excess lint and fibres from the cotton fabric. They are highly absorbant and have a strong finish, meaning theyre an excellent choice for winter clothing. Brushed Cotton is a much higher quality fabric than normal cotton fabrics and is an excellent choice for winter clothing as it will keep the wearer warmer due to the soft finish. Our Brushed Cotton Fabrics are all made in Portugal and are of the highest quality available. We stock our 100% brushed cottons in a variety of colours, all in a checked print. The colours available are mostly subtle colours which include black, cranberry, pink/grey and red. Brushed Cotton is an ideal fabric to create garments for winter, both for ladies and men. This fabric is most commonly used for jackets and lighter coats, due to the softness and warmth of the fabric. Because Brushed Cotton is 100% cotton, it is suitable to be used for childrens clothing and will ensure they're also kept warm throughout the colder months.
