Here at Calico Laine we have a great selection of different Calico to choose from. Our Light Weight Calico in a natural coloured, untreated cotton. If you're not looking for anything to heavy, this would be the perfect choice. The Light Weight Calico comes in a standard width of 150 cm wide and is 123 gsm in weight. It is ideal to be made into bags as it it is quite substantial!
There are a few choices in weights of our Calico's, The Medium Weight is slightly heavier at 165 gsm. It is the same width and again, is still a natural colours. We also offer a Heavy Drill Raw Calico which is the heaviest in the range. It is very substantial and strong so is great for all different uses! The Good Quality Calico is the highest quality, and is lovely to the touch.
Another heavy weight cotton to take a look at is our selection of Gabardine. Gabardine comes in 2 choices:
Cotton Gabardine- which is made from 100% cotton and is heavier than the other cottons we have in our range.
Poly Cotton Gabardine- this is made from 35% cotton and 65% polyester.
The great things about the Gabardine is that there is quite a wide range of colours to choose from! They can be incorporated into dressmaking, haberdashery and even repairs as they are more of an 'work overall' weight! The Gabardine is 150 cm (60") wide and is pre-shrunk, so unlike Calico, it wont shrink when washed!
