New To Polyviscose Tartan?

Polyviscose tartan gives you the traditional woven appearance of tartan in a softer, lighter and easy-to-wear fabric.

Compared with heavier wool tartans, polyviscose tends to have a smoother handle and more flexible drape, making it particularly useful for dressmaking, children's clothing, accessories, costumes and craft projects.

Because tartan has strong horizontal and vertical lines, a little extra care when cutting and pattern matching can give your finished project a beautifully professional appearance.
