Light Brown Needle Corduroy – 145cm / 57" – 100% Cotton – 3m Piece – 14 Wale

A lovely light brown cotton needle corduroy with fine vertical ribs, giving the fabric a soft texture while still remaining durable and structured.

Needle cord is a finer type of corduroy, with smaller ridges (called wales) compared to wider corduroys. This version has 14 wales per inch, which gives it a smoother, more refined appearance that works beautifully for clothing.

As a 100% cotton fabric, it is breathable and comfortable to wear while still providing warmth and structure for garments.
