Tangerine Needlecord – 3 Metre Piece (154cm / 61" Wide)

This lovely tangerine / pale orange needlecord is a soft, fine corduroy fabric with very narrow ribs (known as wales). Needlecord is the finest type of corduroy, giving it a softer feel and a lighter look than traditional wider cord fabrics.

It has a gentle structure while still being comfortable and flexible, making it ideal for garments as well as lighter soft furnishing projects.

The bright tangerine orange colour makes it a great choice for statement garments, children's clothing, and autumn sewing projects.

At 154cm / 61" wide, it gives you plenty of usable width for dressmaking or larger sewing projects.

Each listing is for a 3 metre piece, which is a versatile length for many sewing projects.
