Description
Dyed yarn fabrics get their distinctive appearance and feel from how they are woven. The yarns (threads) are dyed first, and then the cloth is woven. Often a few different weights or textures of yarn (thread) are woven into the cloth to create a more textured fabric. Weaving with dyed threads means the colour is embedded in the fabric and will not fade off the surface with washing. In most cases it also means both sides of the fabric can be used as the 'right' side, although each side will usually look slightly different.

Judging colour and texture on a screen:
Judging the colour and texture of fabric on a screen is difficult, so when possible I have included Crayola crayons to help you judge colours, and/or a photograph with a few other dyed yarn fabrics. To help judge texture and scale there is a close up with a tape measure, and to show drape the fabric has been lifted to show how it falls and folds. I hope this is helpful and that you enjoy your new fabrics.
These fabrics are also available in packages of smaller cuts in mixed colours on this site.
