What Is 6 Wale Corduroy?

The wale number refers to the number of raised cords or ribs per inch of fabric. A 6 wale corduroy has approximately six cords per inch, creating wider and more pronounced ribs than fine-wale corduroy. The lower the wale number, the wider the cords.

Tips for Sewing Corduroy

Corduroy has a directional nap, which means the fabric can appear different depending on the direction of the ribs and pile. For a consistent finish, place your pattern pieces in the same direction when cutting.

When pressing corduroy, avoid applying heavy pressure directly to the right side of the fabric, as this can flatten the raised cords. Whenever possible, press from the wrong side and use a pressing cloth or another piece of corduroy underneath to help protect the texture.

Due to the different color variations of each monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the color will exactly match what you see online.
