New To Brushed Polycotton?

Brushed polycotton is a woven fabric made from a blend of polyester and cotton.

During finishing, the surface is gently brushed to raise some of the fibres, creating a softer, slightly fuzzy texture.

This gives the fabric a cosy feel while retaining the practical qualities of a woven polycotton.

It's particularly popular for nightwear, casual clothing and comfortable everyday sewing projects.
